St Jean
de Luz with its stunning beachside houses and sea wall.
Twenty
minutes drive south of Biarritz is the ultra quiet Basque town of
St Jean de Luz, a large and working port but with gorgeous 17thC and
18thC houses and a fine, sandy, protected beach.
Apart from the old and well-preserved architecture St Jean is pedestrian
friendly, with an attractive, car-free shopping street on which the
extravagant wedding of King Louis and Maria Theresa took place, in
the unusual church of St Jean Baptiste.

St Jean's
sand is soft too and there's plenty of it, but the climate is not
up to France's Cote d'Azur standards of course, with occasional chilly
Atlantic breezes even in summer.

And
a charming, walkable town too. Click
