About this tour
Cross the border from San Sebastián into France's Basque country on this intimate eight-hour exploration of three coastal towns. With no more than seven travellers and a local guide, you'll wander Bayonne's medieval quarters, stroll Biarritz's belle-époque seafront, and discover the fishing-village character of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The pace lets you absorb each place's rhythm rather than tick boxes, punctuated by a Basque macaron tasting that captures regional flavour.

- Biarritz's grand beaches and period architecture

What to expect
Your guide collects you from San Sebastián and handles the driving, freeing you to chat and settle in. Bayonne reveals itself slowly—cobbled streets, the Nive river, local cafés where life happens at a proper pace. Biarritz shifts the mood: grand promenades and Atlantic views, less about rushing between landmarks and more about feeling the place. Saint-Jean-de-Luz winds down the day with genuine charm: coloured shutters, a working harbour, time to browse or sit with a drink. Between stops, you'll taste Basque macarons—small enough to linger over, telling you something about what people here actually eat. No speeches, no herding.
Good to know
Bring your passport or EU ID for the border crossing. The day suits all fitness levels—walking is leisurely, never strenuous. Wear comfortable shoes and check the weather; coastal wind can surprise. Tips aren't included. Public transport runs nearby if you prefer independence.
