A strategic location in the heart of the Basque Country

Located in Ainhoa, Maison Oppoca enjoys a central location for exploring the inland Basque Country. This village, both calm and lively, is classified among the most beautiful villages in France. It is characterized by its main street lined with typical half-timbered Basque houses and its surrounding hilly landscapes.

In the immediate vicinity, visitors can explore towns such as Espelette, known for its AOP chili pepper, Cambo-les-Bains and its thermal heritage, or Sare and its caves. The Spanish border is just a few kilometers away, allowing for trips to Navarre or San Sebastián.

Discover the surroundings of Maison Oppoca

Within a radius of 30 kilometers around Maison Oppoca, there are many and varied possibilities for discovery. For hiking enthusiasts, several marked trails run through the Basque hills, including routes accessible from Ainhoa to Mount Atxulegi, or the famous Rhune, accessible on foot or via the small rack railway from Sare.

The landscapes offer an alternation of gentle mountains, green valleys and traditional villages. Strolling through towns such as Itxassou, Ascain, La Bastide-Clairence or Ustaritz, visitors discover the Basque architectural heritage, local markets and artisan producers: cheesemakers, pork butchers, cider makers, canneries and chili pepper producers.

Rivers such as the Nivelle or the Nive invite you to walk or to take part in activities such as kayaking or fishing. In Cambo- les-Bains, the Arnaga gardens, former home of Edmond Rostand, are worth a visit. For those who wish to extend their exploration, the beaches of the Basque coast (Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Bidart) are accessible in around forty minutes.

Finally, the Maison Oppoca, by its location, is an ideal starting point to discover both the inland Basque Country, its listed villages, its culinary traditions and its varied landscapes, between mountains, agricultural valleys and living culture.
