Travelling by car is the best way to get around outside of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
The A63 motorway connects the Basque Country to the rest of France and then Spain.
There are two motorway exits for Saint-Jean-de-Luz:
- Exit n° 3 “Saint-Jean-de-Luz-Nord” takes you directly to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the beaches, camp sites and the village of Guéthary.
- Exit n°2 “Saint-Jean-de-Luz-Sud” takes you directly to Ciboure and Urrugne.
Once you are here, we suggest you use public transport especially in the summer months.
