    What a great encounter during this Night hike "La Nuits de Basajaun", with Julien our guide, a kind, dynamic young man passionate about the History of his Region. We followed him by lantern light along the smugglers' trail along the border with Spain and took advantage of the stops to listen to him tell the legends of his country, richly illustrated by projected drawings on the rocks. Final bouquet where we find ourselves protected by the vault of a small cave to end on an even more intimate note and share a tasting of local products selected by Julien. Thank you very much for this special moment during which you were able to show us your passion for Basque Mythology, your universe is like a parenthesis in time, thank you for your confidences and the sharing of your childhood memories with your Grandmother, we let's have a great season, don't change anything, stay who you are and how you do it, Yours sincerely, Sebastian

    This is a first for us to hike with a guide. I was hesitant because in general the guides are boring 😁 But then Fabien is really captivating and the legends of witches are told with taste and passion; we are immersed in his stories. When the walk ends, we ask for more. To do again without hesitation! The 5 stars are well deserved. Fabien is fascinating, smiling, and knows how to take us with him into this mystical world. The trail route is very pretty and the stories told lend themselves well to the locations. The little cards handed out to the children are great and leave them with a great memory. Thank you for this top organization!
