Places to see in ( Hendaye - France )

Hendaye is the last town that you come to before reaching Spain when travelling along the coast of south-west France, known as the Cote d'Argent. The town stands on the right bank of the Bidassoa river that marks the frontier with Spain. The small island in the river, the Ile des Faisans, was an important border location for several centuries, culminating in the Treaty of the Pyrenees being signed on the island in 1659. The Treaty finally brought to an end the centuries of conflict between France and Spain in the border regions. One curious result - the island itself (which is uninhabited) alternates every six months between being French territory and Spanish territory.

Hendaye has been a historically important frontier town for many centuries and is more of a year-round town than many along the coast. The resort part of Hendaye has a long sandy beach that is popular with sunbathers and windsurfers alike. At the northern end of the beach there is a rocky promontory providing some shelter for the beach and an attractive backdrop. There are perhaps rather more high-rise apartments behind parts of the beach in Hendaye than in some of the more recently developed resorts further north up the coast, but there are also a good number of belle-epoque villas to be seen.

The more developed part of Hendaye seafront is to the east, while the traditional villas are mostly further west along the Boulevard de la Mer. A pedestrian promenade follows most of the length of the beach. There are also some features of historical interest in Hendaye such as the Great Cross of Hendaye in the main square. The church of Saint-Vincent, built in the 16th century, is the centre of the town. The unusual moorish style of the building that was originally Hendaye Casino is also interesting.

The pleasure and fishing port is also a pleasant place to explore: it is behind the town and beach in a small area in the large bay formed by the river estuary: just keep following the Boulevard de la Mer westwards and you will find it. The most interesting part of the town itself is on the hill behind the seafront, with views across the sea and also to the Pyrenees that start just inland.

Episode 2 - The best of France's western coast …and beyond to Spain

In our second clip of the Haven Knox-Johnston series, John and his team set off on his boat Cecienne along the Atlantic coast of France with its amazing ports and harbours.

The first stop is the thriving and picturesque city of La Rochelle, in the Poitou Charente’s region. Steeped in history, with many museums, medieval houses and renaissance architecture (not forgetting an abundance of shops), La Rochelle offers a great taste of what can be expected from an ideal all year round destination.

The Ile de Re, an island just off the west coast, is the next destination. The island has retained a laid back Gallic charm lost from many mainland regions. Once there, you can rent all types of vehicles to really explore and enjoy all the island has to offer.
Looking to follow the sun further south, Capbreton, located at the mouth of the Boudigau and Bourret rivers in the very South West of France, is a fantastic destination as well as a surfers’ paradise. Hendaye is the last destination before entering Spanish waters. Both Capbreton and Hendaye have great marinas for winter cruising. If you're thinking about taking your boat abroad this winter - here's some inspiration!

Next clip – Cecienne reaches North East Spain…
