1. Departure: Port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz Mythical port of the Basque Country, today fishing still remains the main activity there.

   15 min

2. We will follow the Basque cornice, a protected natural area, located between Hendaye and Ciboure. Today the hiking trail that winds around this cliff is closed to the public because of its fragility. We will have the chance to discover these Flysch cliffs from the sea.

   30 min

4. Jaizkibel offers spectacular views of the ocean and the Basque coast. Travelers will admire wild cliffs, natural heaths and unique panoramas, while enjoying a moment of contemplation in the heart of raw and unspoilt nature. It will also be the time for swimming!

About Biarritz

Biarritz is a seaside resort on France's Basque coast, with surf beaches, Belle Époque villas and the Pyrenees inland.

Biarritz began as a fishing and whaling village and became fashionable when Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, built a summer villa here in the 1850s, now a grand hotel above the Grande Plage. Rocks and small coves line the shore, and the Rocher de la Vierge, a rock topped by a statue and joined to the shore by a footbridge, is the town's symbol. Belle Époque villas, a lighthouse and a Russian Orthodox church complete the scene.
