Relax in the Green and visit its Most Beautiful Villages
There’s no better way to feel the pulse of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques than to visit its Most Beautiful Villages! Immerse yourself in the heart of the Basque and Bearn souls.
At the gateway to Spain and the mythical Roncevaux pass, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port is a must-see for pilgrims (last stop on the way to Compostela), architecture lovers and nature lovers alike: Porte Saint-Jacques (Unesco World Heritage Site), Citadelle and ramparts, white houses with typical red shutters, Prison des Évêques, etc. But don’t leave the capital of Basse-Navarre without sampling the local specialties: chaumontais, chorizo with Espelette pepper, ewe’s milk cheese, Bayonne ham, Basque cake… A pure delight with Jurançon, Madiran or AOC Béarn!
