Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Biarritz, France
Saint-Jean-de-Luz is the prettiest fishing port on the Basque coast — a sheltered bay town 20 minutes south of Biarritz where Louis XIV married Maria Theresa of Spain in 1660 (the wedding church, Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, has the finest Basque church interior on the French side) and where the working tuna fishing fleet still lands its catch at the harbour.
