Things to see and do

The Saint-Fructueux church of the seventeenth century is classified. Typical Basque church with a remarkable altarpiece, three rows of balusters, as well as a cemetery with numerous discoidal stelae.

The oak of Guernica next to the church.

The archaeological remains with cromlechs at the Artzamendi and the Mondarrain.

The Pas de Roland (hole in a rock overlooking the river) at the edge of the Nive: the legend says that Roland de Roncesvalles, wanting to rejoin his troops and being late, gave a great kick in the rock to open the Way... A lovely place with a nice beach by the water.

Mount Artzamendi (bear mountain) and Mondarrain. You can reach it either on foot or by car (narrow and spectacular road). A breathtaking view of the Pyrenees and the ocean. Beautiful walks in the middle of pottoks, wild vultures and Basque sheep.
