An old fishing village with a typical Basque character, Saint-Jean-de-Luz is steeped in history. Tourists will enjoy the lively atmosphere, local culture, and delicious food.
A popular summertime destination, Saint-Jean-de-Luz boasts attractive sandy beaches with gentle waters (thanks to protection from the ocean by a sea wall). The beaches are ideal for swimming and appeal to families with kids.
Saint-Jean-de-Luz is just a 30-minute drive south of Biarritz. It's worth taking the time to discover this traditional Basque seaside town, which is quite different from the glitzy resort of Biarritz
