Mix with the stars or celebrate with the locals

Go on, admit it: it would be a dream come true to eat tapas alongside Monica Bellucci at the Cent Marches in Biarritz; to surf with Joel de Rosnay and Guy Forget in Bidart; or to eat a T-bone steak at Ostalapia, the favourite restaurant of Bixente Lizarazu and J.E. Moustic…

All these celebrities have one thing in common: they have chosen the Basque coast, because here they can enjoy peaceful holidays in natural surroundings without being harassed by the paparazzi.

For those of you who prefer village festivities, where the locals sing at the bar at aperitif time, you will be spoilt for choice in summer, as at any given moment there will always be village celebrating its fête.
