Beautiful climb towards Spain that is partly on gravel. Wonderful, mountains and endless peace.

We had lunch in the small, simple inn in August 2019 when we drove past. In July 2022 we stopped again by bike.
Here the old pilgrimage route crosses the Nive on a small bridge.
A SNCF stop allows you to avoid the 18km road to/from St Jean Pied de Port. We drove it towards the sea on a Sunday and experienced little traffic.

Itxassou

Highlight • Settlement

Itxassou, is a pretty little village in the heart of the Basque Country. Crossed by the Nive, Itxassou has typical Basque architecture. The village owes its reputation in part to the cherries of Itxassou.

Also discover the Rabbit Forest, an area dedicated to dozens of rabbit species.

You will find many restaurants that offer local cuisine.
