Experience France from San Sebastian on a day that takes in the best of the French Basque Country, beaches, grand villas, and historic old towns with a seafaring soul, on this coast day trip.
The experience begins with a Biarritz tour, the former capital of imperial summers, where the Grand Plage, the Rocher de la Vierge and Hôtel du Palais set a scene of surf and elegance, perfect for strolling and photography. Your local guide will explain how royalty and the Belle Époque transformed the town without erasing its Basque essence. Then continue to a Bayonne tour, a city of bridges and rivers with a Gothic cathedral, half-timbered corners, and an irresistible market. There you’ll see why its chocolate and charcuterie traditions make it a must-stop for gourmet tastings of local produce.
The journey culminates in Saint-Jean-de-Luz (San Juan de Luz), a corsair refuge and fishing jewel, where the Church of Saint John the Baptist holds a key page of European history -the wedding of King Louis XIV. Between its harbour, Rue Gambetta, and white houses with red shutters, you’ll feel the maritime heartbeat that ties both banks of the Bidasoa.
With private transport from your hotel, a bilingual guide, and an unhurried pace, this Biarritz, Bayonne, and Saint-Jean-de-Luz tour from San Sebastian blends heritage, sea, and gastronomy in a comfortable, complete experience that returns you to Donostia with the taste of the Atlantic on your palate.
