Bidart is a small hill top town located
between the Route National 10 and the sea, with charm and tranquillity in abundance, no
hustle & bustle here in comparison to the larger resort town of Biarritz, just on its
doorstep to the North. Bidart & Guethary are where the Pay Basque countryside and
coast meet and create a good mixture. Most of the beaches are found at the base of a cliff
(which, even in the height of the summer are not crowded), with the exception of two, the
Plage d'Ilbarritz and Plage de l'Uhabia which are large open normal beaches.
The principle Architecture here is Typically Basque (as the Mairie picture below left
shows), white facades, Basque red shutters & colombage timbers and red pan-tiled roofs
(when the sun is shining, the brightness from these houses is astounding), all the way
from Bidart to St. Jean de Luz & Hendaye.
