Ventas

Automatic translation

Ventas are a must when traveling between France and the Basque Country. A veritable Ali Baba's cave, these small traditional shops or commercial establishments are goldmines for finding pretty gifts or bringing back a souvenir from the south of France. Located at border crossings such as Irun, Dancharia, Col d'Ibardi or Col d'Osquich, the ventas offer an unmissable shopping experience with Basque and Spanish specialities, local produce and inexpensive eateries. A significant advantage is the price, as products such as alcohol, tobacco and food are tax-free at the border. 

Happy shopping in the ventas of the Basque Country!
