Experience an unforgettable day discovering the jewels of the French Basque Country on a comprehensive excursion from Bilbao. This tour is designed to immerse you in Atlantic elegance, imperial history, and the maritime traditions of three of the most emblematic towns on the French coast. After a convenient hotel pick-up in a private vehicle, our first stop will be Biarritz, the former capital of imperial summers. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will stroll along the Grand Plage, admire the iconic Hôtel du Palais and the Rocher de la Vierge, discovering how this city perfectly blends surf culture with Belle Époque splendor.
The journey continues to Bayonne, a fortified city crowned by its majestic Gothic Sainte Marie Cathedral. You will walk through its half-timbered streets and traditional market, exploring its rich chocolate-making and seafaring heritage. In the heart of this city, you will enjoy a traditional two-course lunch with dessert, included in the experience. The final touch is provided by Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a historical fishing port and former corsair haven. You will walk along Rue Gambetta and visit the church where Louis XIV's wedding was held, feeling the Atlantic soul in every corner. With small groups and high-end transportation, this 10-hour tour is the most sophisticated and complete way to cross the border and fall in love with the French coastline.
