Basque coast
Nestled between the ocean and the mountains, the Basque coast is a 100% holiday destination throughout the year.
Besides its rich culture (dancing, singing ...) and gastronomy, it offers endless landscapes.
From Biarritz to Hendaye, via Bidart, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Urrugne and Ciboure, coastal towns and beaches seriously compete the small inland villages which, as Espelette and Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port shine by their typical architecture, their culinary specialties and their secular heritage.
Whether you are thalasso, hiking, idleness or simply gourmet, discover through our 5 residences, this destination with singular culture where conviviality and sense of the festival are not empty words ...
