Labeled the most beautiful village in France, the village of Sare is also one of the prettiest in the Basque country. Located at the foot of the Rhune or “Larun”, you will find in this village, a rich history and a real local atmosphere. Former smuggling country, its winding trails are very popular with hikers. A village close to the Basque coast... During this walk, we will cross the charming village of Ascain to take the Col de Saint-Ignace which culminates at 759m starting point of the famous little train of the Rhune. A few “burlingues”...and you will take height to discover pigs of the breed “Black Pigeon” in semi-free range, Pottoks and hopefully some raptors. You will be dazzled by the view of the bay of Saint Jean de Luz. …This walk will seduce....All lovers of traditional villages and pretty mountain roads...
Ascain is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in northeastern France. Bordering Spain at the summit of the Rhune, the last Pyrenean summit, located six kilometres from the Atlantic coast, it is watered by the Nivelle, a coastal river that originates in Navarre (Spain) and crosses the French Basque Country, notably the traditional Basque province of Labourd (capital: Bayonne), of which the municipality is part.
Sare is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in northeastern France. It is backed by the Pyrenean chain, which forms around the basin occupied by the village a circus open to the east and north. Its geological history explains the formation of caves that were occupied during the Aurignacian; the Bronze Age left many funerary monuments on the tracks and mountain plateaus of the commune. Its territory today forms an enclave in the Foral Community of Navarre with which it shares 25 km of border and the Basque language; this particularity has had a strong impact on the history of the municipality, which has over the centuries concluded pastoral agreements with the neighboring Spanish municipalities.

Some people might think it's a bit expensive, but not at all. The experience is really worth the trip. Philippe, our guide, is exceptional, attentive, and takes great care of us. He took us to places where we wouldn't have gone. It was a really great walk. If we come back to the area, we will ask for a longer tour. No age barrier, Mom is 80 years old, so no excuse for those who want to set limits for themselves at this level. Give it a try, you will come away satisfied and amazed.. Fabienne 55 years old and Géraldine 80 years old 😁 Thank you Philippe 🥰
The unmissable excursion for an atypical visit of the (small part) Basque Country supervised by two passionate of this sublime region. 2h walk with 2 children8 aged 9 and 5 who have A-DO-RÉ. Wonderful memories, extraordinary landscapes. A great time! A discovery to book without further delay.

2h walk to discover the Basque country with 2 motorcycles and side cars, for 2 adults and 2 children aged 6 and 9 years. Great experience! Possibility to be on the back of the bike from 8 years old, small coffee during the shower, discovering pigs and small hair free, good equipment provided, beautiful commented discovery. We recommend!
Bonjour, Merci pour cet agréable message !! Nous avons été ravis de partager cette balade avec vous quatre. Restez comme vous êtes, une super famille.. Cordialement. LesPP.
An absolutely incredible experience with the Pbourlingeurs! The sidecar ride was a real moment of happiness from start to finish. Pascal and Philippe are very sympathetic, very warm and caring, which makes the adventure even more enjoyable. The scenery was simply beautiful, with a particularly memorable moment at the top of Mount Jara when the view was breathtaking. We discover the region in a totally different, original and immersive way. This is an activity that we highly recommend, especially for those who can’t take long hikes: it’s a great way to enjoy effortless panoramas, comfortably installed, with hair in the wind. A unique experience that we will repeat without hesitation during our next visit to the region!
