Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Coastal commune in French Basque Country, France.

Saint-Jean-de-Luz stretches along the Nivelle River and features a protected harbor nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees Mountains.

The marriage of King Louis XIV to Maria Teresa of Spain took place in the Church of Saint John the Baptist in 1660.

The town maintains its Basque identity through traditional architecture, featuring white houses with red and green wooden frames and sloped roofs.

The railway station connects travelers to major cities like Bordeaux and Paris, while the A63 motorway provides direct access to Spain.

The port remains one of the main French anchovy fishing centers, with local boats bringing fresh catches daily to the morning fish market.
