Biarritz & The French
Basque Coast Tour

Description

Head along the French Basque Coast on this scenic, full-day tour. On this must-do tour from San Sebastian, you will cross the border along the Bidasoa River to head into the French side of the Basque Country and drive through the Côte Basque to admire unique natural rock formations and coastal villages with houses of neo-Basque style.

Our first stop will be the fortified city of Bayonne, a historical city of merchants and the capital of the province of Lapurdi. This commercial hub has a unique mix of beautiful English, French, and Basque architecture.

We will continue our tour visiting the elegant city of Biarritz. This former whaling town was a meeting point for European aristocracy in the XIX century, and today remains an important tourist destination thanks to its luxurious Hôtel du Palais, its casinos, extensive beaches, and surfing scene.
