Taxi Biarritz → Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Your Biarritz → Saint-Jean-de-Luz transfer at €35–€40. 17 km, jewel of the Basque coast.
A taxi between Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz costs between €35 and €40 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 17 kilometres and a journey time of from 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A63, with ~€1 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €55. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Saint-Jean-de-Luz is one of the most beautiful fishing ports on the Basque coast, world-famous for the marriage of Louis XIV to the Infanta Marie-Thérèse of Austria in 1660 in the Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste. This church, with its monumental gilded altarpiece and painted wooden galleries, is a masterpiece of Basque art. The Maison Louis XIV and the Maison de l'Infante, facing the harbour, bear witness to this historic event. Saint-Jean-de-Luz is also an active fishing port: trawlers land tuna, anchovies, sardines and chipirons (squid) daily. The bay, protected by three breakwaters built under Napoleon III, offers one of the few sheltered beaches on the Basque coast, ideal for families. The pedestrianised Rue Gambetta is full of Basque fashion boutiques, pastry shops and artisan canneries.
