About Espelette
Espelette is the best known of the Labourd villages, its half-timbered houses hung with strings of drying peppers from late summer onwards. The pepper has its own festival at the end of October, the chocolate makers and the ham shops line the main street, and the castle houses the town hall. Ainhoa, ten minutes further, is a single street of seventeenth-century houses listed among the most beautiful villages in France.
The airport transfer takes the D932 towards Cambo and the D918 to the village, about 45 minutes; Itxassou and Souraïde are served at the same fixed fare.
Highlights
- Strings of piment d’Espelette drying on the house fronts
- The pepper festival on the last weekend of October
- Ainhoa, a bastide village ten minutes away, and the Itxassou cherry orchards
Also serving: Ainhoa, Itxassou, Souraïde

22.2 km, about 45 minutes by car. The private transfer costs €69 one way for up to four passengers.
