Best of Basque Country



Highlights
The Basque Country is your home during your stay. A cycling escapade spiced with an omnipresent Basque character, softened by a landscape in love with a green setting, between ocean and mountains. Throughout your stay, you will have the opportunity to discover the innumerable traditions that are perpetuated in each town and village that you will cross, sharing a strong common identity.
You will explore the coastal part on the ocean shore between Bayonne, Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, magnificent colorful Basque villages such as Sare, Ainhoa or La Bastide-Clairence, classified as "Most Beautiful Villages of France", without forgetting Espelette and its famous pepper. A well-deserved break will await you in Cambo-les-Bains, a spa and green resort before going up the Adour river to Dax. You will take time to discover its rich Gallo-Roman and thermal heritage before reaching Bayonne through the Landes forests and the Vélodyssée. You will take the opportunity to discover seaside resorts such as Capbreton or Vieux-Boucau and its famous marine lake.
