About 25mn south Biarritz, this beautiful castle hangs above the ocean and all the viewpoints all along the road are breathtaking !

A site beyond your imagination! This is Abbadia, Château-Observatoire, an enchanting place, set on the steep cliffs of Hendaye in the middle of moor, built between 1864 and 1884 by Viollet-Le-Duc for Antoine d'Abbadie, ethnologist, geographer, man of science?

Victorian-era castle built by an eccentric scientist-explorer to double as an astronomical observatory and a home for his collection of exotic items amassed during his trips to Africa.
