Take a day tour excursion from San Sebastian to discover the most picturesque region of the Basque Country: the French Basque Countryside. A place where borders “do not” exist, but played a fundamental role in history. Discover the region while you learn about the traditions and culture of the Basque people living on the other side of the Pyrenees. 

We will cross the border through a mountain pass and embark on a journey on the land of smugglers, pilgrims and soldiers. Accompanied by your local guide, you will learn all the insights of this particular region by visiting the most beautiful little towns of the French Basque Countryside. You will taste an authentic Gateau Basque (Basque Pie) in the town of Sara, learn about the pepper that made the town of Espelette famous, and visit the walled city of Saint Jean Pied de Port, famous for being the starting point of the pilgrimage of Camino de Santiago. 

Embark on our tour of the French Basque Countryside to discover one of the most pristine regions of the Basque Country! You will taste local products, visit traditional little Basque towns, and admire the typical lush green fields so representative of the Basque landscape.
