Saint-Jean-de-Luz is a charming seaside town located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of southwestern France, close to the border with Spain. With an estimated population of around 13,000 residents, it is part of the French Basque Country.

The town is situated along the Bay of Biscay, which is sheltered by natural breakwaters, resulting in calm waters that make the beach perfect for swimming and family recreation. The seafront promenade, lined with cafés, shops, and hotels, is one of the main attractions for visitors throughout the year.

The local economy is primarily supported by fishing, tourism, and retail. Saint-Jean-de-Luz has a rich maritime tradition, historically famous for its tuna and sardine fishing, which still influences local cuisine and commerce. The harbor is lively, accommodating both fishing and leisure boats.

Public services, cultural venues, and educational institutions are concentrated in the town center, ensuring a high quality of life year-round. Its proximity to Biarritz and Hendaye, along with efficient rail and road connections, makes Saint-Jean-de-Luz an accessible and well-connected destination along France’s southwestern coast.
