Important and unavoidable building of the city of Ciboure, a fortress built by Henri IV to protect Saint-Jean-de-Luz.

The Fort of Socoa is an important and unavoidable building in the city. The history of the Fort begins under Henri IV. Anxious to protect Saint-Jean-de-Luz from the Spanish enemy, he planned to build a fortress. Differences of opinion between the various communes caused the project to fail. The Fort of Socoa will be built only under the reign of Louis XIII. In 1636, the Spanish took the fort and named the citadel Fort of Castile. A few years later, French sovereignty was re-established and the work was completed and became the Fort of Socoa.

Lorsqu'on regarde à l'horizon, on voit ce Fort se dresser au loin. Les vagues viennent se casser sur la digue qui se poursuit dans son passage et cela donne un très beau tableau.
En période de canicule, cet endroit est très frais et agréable !

La balade sur la digue vaut le coup d'oeil. belle vue de la baie de Saint-Jean de Luz. Ce fort en belles pierres mérite le déplacement. et il y a pas mal de petits resto juste à côté. très agréable.

imposant édifice (qu'on ne peut pas visiter) mais pas entretenu avec superbe vue sur Saint Jean de Luz et les Pyrénées.

Le plus bel endroit de la baie de Saint Jean de Luz !
Une belle promenade pour découvrir ce fort situé au pied de l'océan où viennent frapper les vagues. Une petite plage sympathique se niche à ses pieds à l'abri des vents et des vagues ainsi qu'un port aux barques colorées. La ballade est gratuite mais attention parking payant.
A very friendly place to stroll, especially in the evening. To hear the sound of waves in all tranquilility! What a feeling of freedom!
