Restaurant attached to a cider press - some of the best steak you'll ever taste, washed down by all-you-can drink cider served direct from the barrel. Our favourite local restaurant.

Don’t be fooled by the external appearance, this restaurant above a gym is one of the best in the area & the terrace has a great view over the local hills. The weekday set lunch is unbeatable value.

The capital of the French basque country, Bayonne is famous for its chocolate shops and medieval porticos. Well worth a visit at any time of year, the first week in August the town turns out in white and red for the "Fêtes de Bayonne", a multi-day street party.

One of the prettiest villages in the region, and a beautiful 3 hour walk from the house - makes a great day hike. The Hotel Arraya on the main square does a great lunch (check opening times online).

Historic port town, chosen by Louis XIV to host his wedding to the Infanta of Spain, now super stylish beach destination. Sheltered waters make the Grande Plage one of the most family friendly beaches in the area.

Chic seaside resort known for its big surf. Kids will love the aquarium with its rooftop seal pool. If money is no object, lunch in the Hotel du Palais is hard to beat - for a more low-key setting try the fish restaurants in the old port. Warning: parking in the town centre August is impossible, so instead use the free park and ride service

Typical Basque village that first entered the popular imagination in the 19th century as the inspiration for Pierre Loti's classic novel "Ramuntcho" and was later a favoured watering hole for early Hollywood stars including Charlie Chaplin and Marlene Dietrich, who holidayed nearby. The town square doubles as a pelote court where locals play to an audience of local diners.

Across the bay from St Jean de Luz, Socoa offers a haven of calm protected from the Atlantic swell by its cliffs and sea wall. One of our favourite spots: great restaurants, a quiet beach under the castle walls, and wonderful views.

Pretty hilltop village by the sea, overlooking a number of popular surfing beaches. Great spot to watch the sunset over the ocean or join the locals to watch a game of pelote basque in the main square.

Kids young and old will love the Lac de St Pée, a freshwater reservoir offering a sandy beach, aqua park, pedalos and forest zipwire centre. Plenty of parking and some family friendly restaurants (creperie, pizzeria) too. Most activities summer only.

Dominating the local landscape at 900m, a hike or ride to the top of la Rhune is a must. From the house it's about 3hr to the summit on foot. If you'd rather take the historic Petit Train, be sure to book tickets online in advance to avoid a very long wait at the station. There's even a couple of cafés at the summit offering cold beers and snacks. (Train and cafés open April-October). The Spanish border runs over the top of the mountain.

周邊交通資訊

Free parking in St Jean de Luz

Parking in St Jean de Luz can be hard to find (and pricey) but you can usually find a free spot (in both senses of the word) in the hills around the Hotel "Les Goelands", just 5min walk from the beach.
