Presentation of our guest house Maison côté entrée Jardin Maison côté future piscine Maison côté entrée 1/5 The history of the house This farm is mentioned as early as 1556 in the archives of the Confrérie de Saint-Nicolas, where it is spelled "Perbost". It is cited in 1744 in the deliberations of the body of the City as a "cabaret", controlled during the "wine visit to the cabarets of Bourdallat". The building probably dates from the Ancien Régime, but it has since been greatly altered. It is represented on the cadastral plan of 1835; the matrix indicates that it was then in the possession of Dominique Etchevers, also owner of the Houga houses et bidau . Attached to the house, a barn with hayloft was built in 1860, according to the date engraved on the clasp of the gate. A resumption in the masonry of the rear part and the development of an access ramp to the hayloft, probably correspond to the 1960s. The house was remodeled in the 1990s, particularly on its east elevation. This farmhouse built above the road to Pessarou, along the Lassarrade district, is made up of two parts: the initial farmhouse to the east, which has been greatly altered, and a second part backing onto the west, with a higher roof. The main elevation to the east under the gable presents heterogeneous openings, in concrete, bricks or stones. The west part opens on the south side by a semi-circular carriage entrance with vintage. The relief on the west side allows direct access to the hayloft upstairs.

THE BASQUE CORNICHE Over ten kilometres, the Basque corniche or "road to the corniche" is a protected natural area. This rocky coast, at the crossroads of Ciboure, Urrugne and Hendaye, is made up of jagged cliffs, heather moors, creeks and agricultural areas. With magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean, the coastal path will offer you excellent family or romantic hikes. The last protected natural area on the French Basque coast, the Corniche Basque offers striking landscapes, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and at the foot of the Pyrenees. The site is characterized by steep cliffs, creeks and two famous rocks "the Twins" witnesses of the decline of the coast. The cliffs tell, in fact, in a few hundred meters, millions of years of history of the earth. Vast meadows, the Atlantic moor, groves sculpted by the winds offer the image of a space of nature contrasting with the towns of Hendaye or Biarritz that can be seen nearby. Arriving in Hendaye, on the Domaine d'Abbadia, the Maison de la Corniche (or Asporotsttipi farm) offers a reading of the fauna and flora of this space. Its permanent multimedia exhibition allows you to discover the particularities and secrets of the Basque Corniche. Welcome door for hikers who wish to embark on the Sentier du Littoral or enjoy a view of the ocean, the Maison de la Corniche is open all year round. Free entry. Every year, on the 4th weekend of September, the General Council of Pyrénées-Atlantiques joins forces with the Conservatoire du Littoral to celebrate the Corniche and its natural heritage: it is the Corniche Festival.

SPAIN – SPANISH BASQUE COUNTRY Gaztelugatxe, Spain Located 45 minutes north of Bilbao, Gaztelugatxe is a small island connected to land by a stone bridge with the hermitage of San Juan de Gaztelugatxe at its summit, which dates from the 10th century AD. These steep coasts announce the typical landscape of the Spanish Basque Country, reputed to be wild. Bilbao and its Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a clever mix of contrasts between the old town (Teatro Arriaga) and modern architecture (the Euskalduna Palace or the Zubizuri footbridge). But its particularity, which makes the reputation of the city, is the Guggenheim Museum. Designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Museum, a museum of modern and contemporary art, is a true architectural masterpiece made of stone, glass and titanium. The deconstructivist spirit of the artist is found in these undulating and organic forms.
