Guided tour of the royal city of Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Duration
2 hours
Overview
-
Saint-Jean-de-Luz has undeniably turned towards the ocean since the 11th century. Like other Basque coastal villages, the main activity was focused on whales. Today, the port has become the 7th French fishing port. It is indeed the ocean that shaped the life of Luziens: between Kaskarots and corsairs there is no shortage of anecdotes about maritime life.
The historic heritage of the city is also very rich. His church welcomed in 1660 the marriage of Louis XIV, a union that changed the life of Luziens, even before that of Europe, and of which the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste is the wonderful testimony.
Visiting Saint-Jean-de-Luz also means contemplating the magnificent panorama that its bay offers. Sometimes a friend, sometimes an enemy, this bay also recalls that the ocean, which brought so much wealth to the Luziens, also very nearly made disappear the city on numerous occasions ...
A guided tour for all, free for children under 12.
