Looking for the best place to celebrate Saint John’s Day? Let yourself be charmed by Saint-Jean-de-Luz.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not long ago, we were asking ourselves the same thing\u2026 and almost without noticing, we were packing our bags and heading to the French Basque Country. Just a short trip from our home, this coastal gem won us over with its mix of history, seaside atmosphere and Basque authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the iconic Church of Saint John the Baptist to the lively Place Louis XIV, there\u2019s so much to discover. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you the best things to do in Saint-Jean-de-Luz<\/strong> so you can make the most of your visit and fall in love with this unforgettable town just like we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time of year, we like to reward ourselves for good grades and break away from our usual travel routine. That\u2019s why we look for a campsite near our destination, where we can unwind in the heart of nature, slow down the pace, and truly disconnect.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have to admit<\/strong> that this time the weather wasn\u2019t exactly on our side. We couldn\u2019t enjoy the pool or some of the campsite\u2019s other facilities, but we took the opportunity to visit some iconic nearby spots<\/strong> instead. And of course, we\u2019ll share all the details so you feel inspired to do the same.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
