The Heart of the Basque

I just love the beautiful seaside town of Saint Jean de Luz in the heart of the Basque Region in South West France. Just a few km from Spain, this delightful seaside town is full of fabulous eats, local delights and a lovely calm beach. If you look up you will see the famous red shutters proudly opened up on the white washed buildings, with locally grown chili peppers hanging to dry in the sun, and magical laneways winding down to the sea. I loved Maison Adam, a fabulous patisserie boasting macarons, gateaux and chocolates, and the grand Hotel du Ville in the centre of town would be such a romantic place to get married. A fishing town and once a 'place for Pirates', Saint Jean de Luz has hosted many a Royal Wedding and remains a stylish and relaxed seaside resort. A must stop for anyone travelling in the area.
