Pyrénées Atlantiques
Erromardie farm, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France
Located in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, between Biarritz and the Spanish border, La Ferme Erromardie, camping Pays Basque is an ideal starting point for discovering the Pyrénées-Atlantiques: its location gives you full access to the ocean and easy access to the cultural and natural sites of the hinterland. The Erromardie farm is also at the foot of the Pyrenees: it takes just 20 minutes to reach the Col de Saint-Ignace and its picturesque train station, where the little cogwheel train takes you 905 m up to the summit of La Rhune!
Discover Pyrénées-Atlantiques
Between Béarn and the Basque country, the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department combines two strong cultural identities. From Pau to Bayonne, you’ll discover a variety of landscapes and a rich heritage. A multifaceted tourist destination, the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department is as attractive for its seaside resorts as for its ski resorts. Rural tourism is a great way to enjoy unspoilt countryside and discover a terroir full of character. A stay in France’s far south-west promises a wide choice of activities. Water sports and water recreation are practiced in the Atlantic, but also in the lakes and rivers of the hinterland. Places not to be missed include the towns of Biarritz, Pau and Bayonne, the seaside resorts of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Hendaye and Anglet, the spas of Salies-de-Béarn and Cambo-les-Bains, and the charming villages of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, La-Bastide-Clairence and Arcangues.
Architectural gems invite you to step back in time: take in the picturesque ancient bastide town of Ainhoa, the exceptional preservation and unique setting of the medieval town of Sauveterre-de-Béarn, or the caves and sanctuary of Bétharram. Between the ocean and the mountains, the Pyrénées-Atlantiques also abounds in exceptional natural sites: from the Basque corniche to the Bénou plateau, via the Col d’Aubisque, the Vallée d’Ossau and the Vallée d’Aspe, the landscapes will never cease to amaze you. During your visits and excursions, you’ll discover the infinite wealth of local gastronomic specialities: piperade, tomme des Pyrénées, madiran, tourin, piquillos or gâteau basque!
