Basque gastronomy
Axoa
A veal stew with Espelette pepper, peppers and onions, usually served with potatoes, Axoa is a traditional dish from the small region of Labourd in the Basque Country.
Gâteau Basque
A typical Basque Country dessert, this is a must-try! Traditionally filled with black cherries or pastry cream, it will delight your taste buds.
We recommend a visit to the Basque Cake Museum in Sare.
Sheep's cheese and black cherry jam
This is the quintessential Basque speciality: sheep's cheese paired with black cherry jam. The sweet and savoury contrast makes it a perfect combination.
Set off to explore the Ossau Iraty route with its various farms.
Bayonne Ham
The inimitable Bayonne ham cured with Salies de Béarn salt.
Visit the Pierre Ibaialde workshop in Bayonne.
The Taloa
This is a traditional corn flatbread from the Basque Country and Navarre. Often filled with ventrèche (cured pork belly), sheep's milk cheese, and fried onions, it's a treat for all food lovers. It can also be enjoyed sweet!
Come and taste it at the camping snack bar.
