When to go to Saint-Jean-de-Luz?
Fishing boats still slide out of the harbour at first light, and the bay curves round to a sheltered beach that faces the mountains as much as the sea. Inside St John the Baptist's church, tiers of carved wooden galleries climb the walls beneath a gilded altarpiece, while the Maison de l'Infante a few streets away recalls the town's royal past. Basque, salty and unhurried.
