      Belonging to the same family since its construction in 1341, this fortified castle was enlarged in the 16th and 18th centuries to become today a very welcoming Historic Monument, furnished and decorated with refinement. The stones of Urtubie tell the story of six centuries of the history of the Basque Country. King Louis XI stayed there in 1463 and Louis

      Its location 3 kilometers from the historic heart of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and 9 kilometers from Spain makes it a privileged place whose charm and historical richness encourage visits.

    Excellent combination of history, gardens, folk games. For people who are looking for a change in activities besides going to the beach or shopping. And visiting the place helps paying for the maintenance of this piece of history.
