Itinéraire
Your adventure begins at the Cité de l’Océan, set between Milady and Ilbarritz beaches, right below the intriguing Baron de l’Espée Castle — a unique starting point facing the Atlantic.
We will follow one of the Basque Country’s most beautiful mountain roads, weaving between rolling hills, centuries-old farmhouses, and panoramic viewpoints. Our first stop is Sare, a peaceful mountain village known for its impressive church, traditions, and colorful history shaped by life near the Spanish border.
We will continue toward Ainhoa, a beautifully preserved village showcasing classic Basque architecture. With its storybook main street and deep-rooted heritage, Ainhoa offers a perfect window into rural Basque life.
Your final stop leads you to Espelette, the beloved village where strings of red peppers decorate the white facades. Learn about the iconic Espelette pepper during a tasting, then enjoy free time to wander the lively streets and soak up the local atmosphere. ️

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.
