Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste

Absolutely beautiful and unique church. The inside looked like an opera hall where you find stages on the wall. Highly recommend stopping by here when you come to Saint Jean de Luz.

This is an historically important church, where Louis the 14th was married. It has a very unusual architectural feature being the wooden balconies that have been added around three of the walls. This was to house an expanding congregation that could not fit otherwise. A lovely church and Well worth the visit. Entry is free And a good place to sit for a while.

Very beautiful place. When we have walked past there is usally no wait at all. Stunning views and architecture. I would highly recommend popping in and viewing. We came here on a sunny Monday and there was a few people inside but lots of space to look and explore

Beautiful Church This is a nice catholic Church in the hyper centre of town. Great setting and beautiful buildings all around.

Beautiful Catholic Church in the centre of town and leading onto the square Louis IV. The architecture and the decorations within the church were stunning with so many lovely colours and stained glass decorations. Really worth stopping by if you are interested in the history of this town.

What a wonderful and historic church. The cool, dark interior is dominated by vaulted ceilings and a magnificent Baroque altarpiece of carved, guilded wood that takes up the entire height of the back wall of the apse, and the two wings that flank it. The wooden galleries - reserved for men - are typical of the Basque Country. The building is steeped in history with Louis XIV and María Teresa, daughter of King Philip IV of Spain, being married in 1660 (while the church was still under construction). Visiting is an absolute must if you are in the area.

Beautiful church that's almost hidden away. Make a stop and enjoy its beauty. As always, be respectful and mindful of worshippers.

The Church of John the Baptist (Saint- Jean-Baptiste), where June 9, 1660 Louis XIV, king of France and Navarra, (grandson of Henry IV) married Mary Theresa of Spain. This is the largest temple in the Basque part of France. It's a very exciting feeling to study history in this way
