Nice small bridge over the river

Another very pretty landscape worthy of the Basque Country! (In July 2022 the river is almost dry, it takes away some of the charm)

Itxassou is a pretty little village in the heart of the Basque Country. Crossed by the Nive, Itxassou has typical Basque architecture. The village partly owes its reputation to Itxassou cherries. Also worth discovering is the Rabbit Forest, a space dedicated to dozens of species of rabbit. You will find many restaurants there which offer local gastronomy.

Roland Gorge

Highlight • Other

The Pas de Roland is a gorge dug by the Nive on the outskirts of Itxassou en Labourd. Located at the bottom of the gorge, the path runs along beautiful cliffs in a remarkable mineral setting. The road follows the river, in the Basque hinterland in a pleasant and bucolic atmosphere.

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port

Highlight • Settlement

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is an essential village in the Basque Country. Nestled at the confluence of the Nives, the medieval city is at the crossroads of the roads serving the Basque Country. The city has a relatively rich historical and architectural heritage. There is notably a medieval enclosure made up of an imposing wall pierced by four large gates. At its heart you will find several artisans who offer many local products. The medieval city also owes its fame to the Camino de Santiago which crosses it. An emblematic stop on this trail, the village welcomes many of its pilgrims throughout the year. At the foot of the Basque mountains, in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, life is good. Take the time to stroll through its streets, eat on its various terraces or relax in the many lodges there.
