The tour ends in Espelette, renowned for its peppers.
Throughout the tour, Clémence, your local epicurean guide, will unveil the region's delectable food specialties. Explore the secrets of the Basque cake in an ancient mill, taste a traditional lunch at a Basque Cider House, and discover the "red gold" of the region—the Espelette Pepper.

What To Expect
Biarritz
The tour starts in Biarritz, a famous imperial City also known for its surf spirit! We will explore the past of this ancient harbor that became the summer holiday destination of the European aristocracy in the 19th century. But Biarritz is also known as the capital of surfing in Europe, as we surfed the first waves here in 1957!
Le Moulin de Bassilour
You will then be invited to taste the flavors of the Basque cake in an ancient mill in Bidart. Your guide will tell you the story of this ancient cake, made of pastry cream or … cherries!

5.00Clemence was an excellent guide. It poured with rain but still thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Travelling around in the VW combi was an essential part of the whole experience.

5.00Our family of 9 had a wonderful day touring the French Basque Country in the VW vans. Our tour guides were informative and very engaging. We were able to visit parts of the Basque Country that we never would have gone to on our own. It was so much fun!
