Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is a must-see village in the Basque Country.
Nestled at the confluence of the Nives rivers, the medieval city is located at the crossroads of the roads serving the Basque Country.


The city has a relatively rich historical and architectural heritage. Notably, there is a medieval enclosure consisting of an imposing wall with four large gates. In its heart, you will find several artisans offering many local products.

The medieval city also owes its fame to the Camino de Santiago which crosses it. An emblematic stage of 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 alleys, to eat on its various terraces, or to rest in the many guesthouses found there.

Esterençubi Village

Highlight • Settlement

Last point to load water before the ascent to Arpea. In this small town, apart from a couple of restaurants, you can find a covered pediment that can serve as a shelter or rest area.
