Tourist Attractions & Monuments au Pays Basque

The poet inherited this house from a rich widow, Madame Gilles, on the advice of a Benedictine friend, Father Caillava. The park of the property, rich in hundred-year-old trees, is a haven where one can wander freely. The poet's house is an inter-associative cultural center for the promotion of the Basque language and culture in partnership with a dozen associations. Francis Jammes rests in the cemetery of the cité des chênes, at the entrance, he had chosen the place himself.

Stretching over more than 3 km, the beach of Hendaye is a privileged site with a panorama that extends from the Spanish shores to the 2 large rocks called "the Twins" which are, perhaps, the most characteristic of the city. The beach is a good compromise, both for beginners and for experienced surfers in search of sensations. The beach operators offer various services such as the rental of tents, deckchairs and beach clubs. In summer, sand castle contests follow Zumba classes and yoga initiations.
