Slow
BASQUE VALLEYS

pastoralisme ©P.Carton

To immerse yourself in Basque culture, a quick tour of the villages slightly inland from the coast is a must. Here you will find authentic day-to-day life. Nestled at the foot of La Rhune mountain, in the hinterland of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Hendaye, they are markedly different from the villages in the Basse-Navarre and Soule, where the landscapes are more rugged. Further inland, you will appreciate a countryside holiday in the Arberoue valley where you can enjoy a hike in the authentic village of Saint-Martin d’Arberoue and taste the local products directly at the farm. You can also be tempted by a special gourmet slow holiday in Charnégou.
