Cliffs, castles, forests and sea, a dream called Ruta Domaine D’abbadia in Hendaye.

Hendaye, the first coastal town of the French Basque Country, gives us the opportunity to make a small route in which we will enjoy as children and that we will remember all our lives. A route, where we will discover several of the most important and interesting attractions of this French Basque municipality.

This route through the domains of Abbadia Castle runs through a protected environment of 65 hectares in which cliffs, green meadows, forests and the sea go hand in hand. A space of the French Basque coast, very pleasant, which can be accessed from the town of Hendaye (it is the best option if you are staying in this town), or on the contrary, if we use the car, we recommend parking in the parking lot for this purpose. The parking lot is located about 500 meters from the main entrance of the castle, past the castle on the right hand side. Attention all those who have vans or motorhomes because the parking has a maximum height of 2 meters, but it is free.

Bizkiak Hendaye

As in our beloved Geoparkea, along the entire stretch of coastline of this walk it is possible to contemplate the passage of time through the rocky layers that make up the flysch. Remember that in this biological reserve it is forbidden to take plants, use bicycles or go with dogs, even if they are tied up.

Castle Abbadie Hendaye

Throughout the year it is possible to enjoy different activities that take place at the entrance of the Domaine, at the Larretxea farm. These activities (free of charge) are perfect for families to complement their visit to the castle with Larretxea activities, a perfect plan for all those who want to enjoy the Basque coast in a very complete way. enjoy!

The route is not suitable for all audiences, since during its course we find stairs: few, wooden and with great separation between them, making it difficult access to all those with reduced mobility.
