Cruises from Hendaye
The popular seaside resort of Hendaye is the most south-westerly town in France. It is a commune on the Atlantic coast, and is situated on the right bank of the Bidassoa River that separates France from Spain. Visitors need only to walk across the bridge of the ‘Avenue d'Espagne’, and arrive in Spain.
