Hendaye

Hendaye occupies a coastal strip at the mouth of the Bidassoa, on France’s Basque shore of the Bay of Biscay in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The river forms the frontier with Spain, with Hondarribia standing on the opposite bank. On the Bidassoa, Île des Faisans is jointly administered by France and Spain; the Treaty of the Pyrenees was signed there in 1659. Château d’Abbadia, a 19th-century neo-Gothic residence built for scientist and explorer Antoine d’Abbadie, stands on the coast, while the Deux Jumeaux rocks mark the end of Hendaye’s beach.
