Sare: Larrun - Ascain - Saint-Jean-de-Luz - Bayonne
La Rhune lies above the Atlantic coast, its 905-metre summit forming one of the westernmost high points of the Pyrenees on the French–Spanish border. Known in Basque as Larrun, the mountain rises between Sare and Ascain, above the low, settled hills that run down towards the Bay of Biscay. The rack railway from the Col de Saint-Ignace near Ascain has climbed to the summit since 1924, making the peak a long-established excursion in the French Basque Country. To the north, Bayonne stands at the meeting of the Adour and Nive rivers; Saint-Jean-de-Luz is a historic fishing port on the Bay of Biscay, while Sare retains the fabric of a Basque village close to the frontier.

Sare is best known within the French Basque Country for the Sare Caves, a limestone complex beneath the foothills of La Rhune in the western Pyrenees. Near the Spanish border, the village sits among pastures and folded ridges rather than on the Atlantic coast. Whitewashed houses with red or green timbering, a characteristic Basque building tradition, define its compact centre around the Church of Saint-Martin. Sare is also listed among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, recognising the care taken to preserve its historic fabric.

The Atlantic coastline and the Garonne–Dordogne river basin define much of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, supporting vineyards, agriculture and enduring maritime trade. France’s largest region brings together the surf beaches and pine forests of the Landes, the wine country around Bordeaux, and the limestone valleys of the Dordogne. The Charente passes through Angoulême, near this location; the city is internationally associated with its annual comics festival. Bordeaux also preserves the UNESCO-listed historic centre known as the Port of the Moon, recalling its role in Atlantic commerce.
