This delightful outing covers the essential themes for understanding the Basque country, while enjoying breathtaking views.

We'll start our walk at the Biarritz lighthouse, located on a hill overlooking the town. Here, your guide will explain the geological wealth of the Pyrenees, the history of the origins of the Basque country and the love affair between Emperor Napoleon III and his young wife.

We'll then head for the magnificent beach of Anglet for a short walk between the Chiberta golf course and the ocean (for the less sporty, you can enjoy a coffee or other drink facing the sea).

After this warm-up, we're off to the fortified city of Bayonne, where over 1500 years of history await you. From its creation by the Romans to its reconfiguration by Vauban, not forgetting its golden age under the English regency, we'll cover a wide range of topics on this walk through the magnificent cobbled pedestrian streets of “Vieux Bayonne”, lined with 18th-century houses.

The tour can be complemented by a “food tour” to discover the region's gastronomic riches, including the famous Bayonne ham, ewe's milk cheese, Basque cakes and chocolate!
