Hendaye Essentials

Hendaye sits at the mouth of the Bidasoa River, marking the border between France and Spain. This coastal town features the 19th-century neogothic Château d'Abbadia, designed by Viollet-le-Duc, and the expansive three-kilometer Ondarraitz beach. A regular ferry connects the French port to the medieval Spanish town of Hondarribia, home to the 10th-century Charles V Castle and well-preserved defensive walls. The town center showcases traditional Basque architecture, including the 16th-century Église Saint-Vincent and the former residence of writer Pierre Loti.
