Fun and entertainment Saint-Jean-De-Luz / Donibane Lohizune

The Select cinema is a real cultural hub, with its film club, exhibitions and festival. Four theaters are available to watch the latest blockbuster, enjoy a documentary on the big screen, meet a director or book a private screening. The cinema is organized and adapted to suit all audiences, and numerous evening debates are organized. Since 1996, the cinema has also organized the International Film Festival, which takes place every October, showcasing the work of filmmakers from around the world. The cinema also offers a catering service.

Kako and her team are still at the helm of this not-to-be-missed spot for gourmets who like to come for an aperitif before dining out. The convivial, subdued atmosphere along the large, pewter-covered wooden bar displays the rations: Basque blood sausage, calamari, veal sweetbreads, homemade foie gras, pintxos and more. And plates to share. An invitation to taste them over a sangria, a homemade Americano before a dessert...homemade.

Welcome to the JOA casino in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Play, dare and have fun. These are just some of the promises that underpin the gambling spirit of a JOA Group casino. The slot machine room and table games room are one and the same: poker, ultimate poker, blackjack and roulette all coexist in a highly attractive room. With, as a European exclusive, the world's largest machine: over 3.10 m. Upstairs, enjoy the air-conditioned restaurant and its breathtaking view over the bay.

This majestic Grand Hôtel, facing the Atlantic, is a mecca for gastronomy, luxury hotels and elegance. While the spa, the hotel and its restaurants deserve our full attention, it's also in the lounge-bar that we're going to turn our attention, the Clipper. It's a cosy, British-style bar, with soft sofas when the weather's bad outside, or on one of the deckchairs overlooking the sea at sunset. Enjoy a plate of oysters, a platter of Basque charcuterie or a sweet from our pastry chef.

We're all familiar with Le Suisse restaurant, so well placed in Saint-Jean-de-Luz on Place Louis XIV. In a different style and in a different register, a wine bar completes the offer proposed by the owners of both Le Suisse and La Txalupa. Three structures, three different images with one thing in common: conviviality. Wine by the glass, of course (this is a wine bar), but also daily tapas and platters... An ideal location in the heart of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, facing the port.

The Corsaire pub is still as attractive as ever for generations of Luziens and Luziennes. The decor has been modernized over the years, but the bar's overall caravel-shaped interior remains unchanged. The lounge or jazzy atmosphere can be lively on certain evenings, particularly at weekends. Matches are regularly broadcast on a giant screen. You'll find a wide range of beers from around the world, cocktails with or without alcohol, a fine selection of wines, gins and whiskies, and a few tapas of the day and sharing platters to satisfy the munchies.

Once a year, for 4 days, dressed in black and a red scarf, Luziens parade through the streets of the town center to the rhythm of bandas and street music. It's the major event in the city of Corsairs, and attracts more and more people every year. Musical and sporting events are scheduled throughout the festivities, as well as tastings of typical Basque products. You'll also discover traditional games such as the Basque force. At the same time, it's the big braderie and the funfair.

A major classical music event in the Basque Country. Between popular tunes and harmonic audacity, the aim of Ravéliades is to perpetuate the memory of Maurice Ravel, the immense Basque composer, and to constitute a living conservatory of French Romantic music. Classes in voice, piano, violin, viola, cello and chamber music. Indulge your senses and discover these wonderful groups of composers. A festival full of discoveries for all.

Overlooking Mayarco beach and the ocean, between St-Jean-de-Luz and Guéthary, Bibam, adjacent to the Mayarco miniature golf course, is located on an exceptional site. In a friendly, "tropical" atmosphere, families, couples and individuals can enjoy cocktails, tapas and seasonal cuisine based on fresh produce: salads, burgers, poke bowls, fish of the day, chipirons... It's a magical, unspoilt place to spend a day or an evening. Concerts are also organized throughout the season.

There's a winter Duke, with its cosy atmosphere and billiards, as well as a summer Duke, with its more exotic, hip, relaxed and youthful ambience. Successful and surprising house cocktails, with their multiple and mixed flavors, await you, as well as planks to share. The atmosphere is festive well into the night. The program includes colorful evenings: Latino, vintage and many other themes announced on the FB site. The guarantee of a good time on the dancefloor with offbeat musical sensations.
