The furthest point in the South West of France Hendaye is a sprawling town.

On the frontier with Spain and hemmed in by the Atlantic and the Pyrenees, Hendaye sits on the Bidassoa River, the middle of which marks the border with Spain. On the waterfront are ruins of old fortifications and several cannons.
On the seafront is the Château of Antoine d’Abbadie, a gothic pile that looks like a fortified castle from the Middle Ages. d’Abbadie, who is buried in a chapel adjacent to the Château, was a 19th century scholar of geography, astronomy and oriental culture – and a key supporter of Basque Country language and culture. In the town square is the Great Cross of Hendaye. The stonework of the cross is carved with occult symbols which are mentioned by Nostradamus, and allegedly predict a future catastrophe.
