A passionate, exciting guide, listening to the group and involving the youngest! A hike accessible to the greatest number and pretty stories! An outing to the Basque country not to be missed.

Visited in a magnificent setting in the real Basque country. Fascinating story that also teaches about the Basque culture of the time. I highly recommend!

Brilliant!!! We were looking for a nice and family way to discover the Basque Country. The myth of the Witches associated with the walk in the woods that takes us from France to Spain has enchanted us, young and old!!! Julien wonderfully transmits his passions for Witches, the Basque Country and nature: we will listen to him talk about the hours of tales and legends of his region! The little ones won't be bored either because throughout the course, the distribution of cards takes them from priest to witch... I strongly recommend this timeless route which will end on a magnificent place steeped in history. Be careful with the little ones, the return may be a bit long (on foot necessarily). And don't forget to book one of the restaurants on the site to end this Witches' March in style!
