Ciboure shares the Socoa bay and the fishing port with Saint-Jean-de-Luz. It is the town that is right in front of San Juan de Luz.

Well, I can only advise you to go for a drink at Place Louis XIV. There you will also find the famous house of Louis XIV. For the record, this house was built in 1643.

It is so called because he received Louis XIV for 40 days while he waited for his fiancee, the Infanta María Teresa, to return from Spain. It is also called Casa de la Infanta.

Bands often come to play some pieces.

But you will also find many very nice bars where you can taste cold cuts and oysters. Very nice spending time with friends with a bottle of wine and a game of cards….

In the middle of this square you have a bandstand, where many artists perform, really very nice! Especially outdoors :)
