Saint-Jean-de-Luz (Basque Donibane Lohizune) is a commune of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques département in France. It is in the traditional province of Lapurdi of the Basque Country.
Saint-Jean-de-Luz is a fishing port on the Basque coast and now a famous resort, known for its architecture, sandy bay, the quality of the light and the cuisine. The town is located south of Biarritz, on the right bank of the river Nivelle (French for Urdazuri) opposite to Ciboure. The port lies on the estuary just before the river joins the ocean.
The summit of La Rhune, a mountain iconic of the Basque country, is situated approximately 8 km (5.0 mi) to the south-east of the town. The summit can be reached by the Petit train de la Rhune, which commences from the Col de Saint-Ignace, 10.6 km (6.6 mi) to the east of the town on the D4 road to Sare.
