Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Nouvelle Aquitaine)

Covering almost 86,000 square kilometers, Nouvelle-Aquitaine is by far the largest region in France. A unique territory of moors, beaches and valleys, the region abounds in natural and historical riches. Famous for its wine, it's also a great place to explore, from the Pic du Midi to the Dune du Pilat, not forgetting the unmissable Fort Boyard.

In this sumptuous setting of green plains and colorful towns stands Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Nestling in the heart of the Bay of Biscay, between Biarritz and Spain, this refined town has managed to modernize while preserving the typical character of the Basque country.

Long known as a fishing village, Saint-Jean-de-Luz has become an exceptional tourist destination. Hotels and thalassotherapy centers have sprung up here without detracting from the town's architecture, deeply marked by Iberian influence. Between the Luzian farmhouses, lively markets and colorful alleyways, the town offers a sensory journey out of time, guided only by the savory aromas of its local cuisine and the visual richness of its landscapes and euskal etxe, those traditional Basque houses.

Saint-Jean-de-Luz attracts so many people because of its quality of life, which meets everyone's expectations. The family-friendly beaches along the bay are ideal for family vacations, while the terraces of Place Louis XIV cater to a younger, more dynamic crowd. The town offers a wide range of activities: golf, water sports, surfing, thalassotherapy... Saint-Jean-de-Luz promises the carefree tranquillity and serenity that are the hallmarks of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
