Mercredi 20 juin - 15h | 7,00 € par personne Guided tour Outstanding scholar, passionate about geography, astronomy and oriental culture, Antoine d'Abbadie (1810-1897) was at the origin of the first cartography of Ethiopia. Strongly attached to the Basque Country, he asserts himself as an ardent defender of his language and culture. Its castle, neo-Gothic architecture, is inspired by models of castles of the Middle Ages. On the facades of Abbadia Castle, crocodiles feed on elephants and monkeys admire the stars. Inside, the decoration is inspired by the scientist's numerous travels: African symbols, Arab living room, Irish references ... The building also houses an old astronomical observatory and a chapel where Antoine d'Abbadie and his wife Virginie are buried.
Mercredi 20 juin - 15h | 11,50 € par personne Egiategia: underwater winemaking in the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz First immersion visit The cellars of Egiategia are located between the Untxin river and the pediment of Socoa. You can discover the old house blocks where are stored the tanks and where the wines are worked. Underwater winemaking is an innovative technique invented here in Ciboure by Emmanuel Poirmeur, agronomist and oenologist. We will explain the history and (almost) all the secrets of this vinification in the heart of the cellars and through videos. You will then go to the tasting party that will take place, if the capricious time of the Basque coast offers you the chance, on a terrace facing the ocean. The visit (45 min.)
