Activities
From the château you can undertake a wide range of activities. On this page we mention a number of those that we think are worth it. But we invite you to do your own research.
The Pyrenees
The mountainous landscape of the French Basque Country begs to be explored further. The Pyrenees offer impressive views and a unique hiking experience for both the trained and the less experienced hiker. Many hiking routes have been mapped out. There are also various routes available for car, motorbike, E-bike or bicycle in different lengths and difficulty levels.
Biarritz
Biarritz is a 1-hour drive from the château It is a fashionable French coastal town on the Bay of Biscay in southwestern France. Biarritz is a popular seaside resort known for its beaches and its history as a holiday destination for European nobility.
Enjoying the beach, surfing, shopping, a gamble in the casino or a drink on the boulevard. Biarritz is back and offers it all. The Hallen, where you can find delicious fresh products, are definitely recommended.

Saint Jean de Luz
A little further south than Biarritz you will find Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Also a seaside resort with beautiful sandy beaches, a little less chic but certainly no less cozy. Here too you can enjoy the beach, surf, shop or have a drink on the boulevard. The house where Louis the 14th lived before his marriage and the 15th century church in the center with the wooden galleries are definitely worth a visit.
Church of St. Jean Baptiste
Golfing in Salies de Bearn

Caves of Isturitz and Oxocelhaya
Less than half an hour away are the Isturitz and Oxocelhaya dripstone caves. These prehistoric caves are easily accessible and surprisingly interesting. They provide a glimpse into another civilization in another time. The Isturitz and Oxocelhaya caves are an important Paleolithic site where a Neanderthal mandible was found, as well as later modern human finds related to the Aurignacian, Solutrean and Magdalenian. They also contain cave paintings and bone flutes have been found.
