Itxassou
Itxassou is a sleepy little town built in the typical Basque style with the houses painted white and the exterior exposed timbers and shutters painted red or green. No real sights in the village but take a wander down the main street and enjoy the sight of the lovely Basque houses set against the backdrop of the foothills of the Pyrenees.
There are two Logis de France restaurants in the town. Very good for such a small place. They are both hotels too but make sure you book; even in mid-Sept both were fully booked when I visited. One is up in the top part of the town and the other down in the even quieter lower part of town.
The church in this village is particularly nice with 3 wooden galleries around the walls and lots of sculpted wood.
On the way out of town is the Pas de Roland - a boulder with a hole in it reputedly made by the great knight Roland with his sword Durandal on his way to Roncevaux.
