Since you don't have to stop there... Here are the other destinations not to be missed in the Basque Country, near the Le Vieux Port campsite: first of all there is Hendaye, 80 km from the campsite... Once there, you can walk along the Corniche Basque, which is about ten kilometres long from Ciboure to Hendaye.

The two famous rocks "les Jumeaux", vast meadows, groves, heather moors and the Atlantic Ocean as far as the eye can see!

Next is Saint Jean Pied de Port, another city in the Basque Country, about 100km from the 5 star campsite Le Vieux Port. It is situated in the southern part of the province of Lower Navarre.
