The PPs will take you on unmissable scenic excursions through breathtaking panoramas.
From the seaside resort of Saint Jean de Luz, located near the Spanish border, visit the region by travelling along the Basque coast and inland during your trips, passing through traditional villages. You will discover the Basque coast and the Pyrenees mountain range.
Come and discover the region: Bayonne with its red, green, and blue half-timbered houses, its cuisine, its terroir, and its chocolate museum, all the way to Saint Jean Pied de Port, located in the hinterland, which shines and remains the stronghold of the territory. The capital of Lower Navarre is a harbour, now a marina, a bastion of history, open to pastoralism, to the mountains, and a welcoming land par excellence, on the route to Santiago de Compostela.
In the Aquitaine region, the southwest of France also includes Biarritz, located on the coast, with its seafront and beautiful surfing beaches, for a getaway along the coastal path.
The small village of Espelette is world famous for the cultivation of its PDO chilli pepper. Since the 16th century, through a process of seed selection, farmers have created a unique variety of this American chilli pepper, called “gorria” (red in Basque). This chilli pepper is used as a spice or flavour enhancer, preserving food or advantageously replacing pepper in Basque culinary traditions and on the best tables today. Ainhoa and Sare, “departure point of the Petit train de la Rhune,” are listed as the most beautiful villages in France.
On the Spanish side, you will pass by the Corniche, Fontarrabie, the city of San Sebastián known for its tapas and its aperitif “la sangria”, and you will wander with the PP.
Travelling with the PPBOURLINGUEURS will give you an insight into the many hidden things to do and villages in the Basque Country.
