An 18-hole, par-72 golf course, Pelota for boys and girls aged seven and up, and a church with a donated ship model give Bassussarry several different points of interest for a stay. Which one matters to you depends on your interests: golf in hilly countryside, Pelota or a visit focused on cultural heritage each offers a different emphasis. For getting there, the connections via the A63 and A64 and Biarritz Parme Airport also provide practical reference points.

Golf: course profile and landscape

The Makila Golf Club is set on hilly, wooded terrain. Centuries-old oaks and views of the Basque mountains are part of its landscape. The course has 18 holes, a par of 72 and is 5,646 metres long. The figures describe the course profile; the terrain and views add a landscape-focused dimension. This lets you weigh up whether your choice of destination is guided more by clearly specified golf facilities or by the wooded hillside setting with mountain views.

In early March 2025, the club received the “Golf pour la biodiversité” label, initiated by FFGolf. For travellers who also take biodiversity into account when considering the golf offering, the label identifies an additional aspect alongside the course profile and landscape.

Pelota as another sporting option

Biez Bat Pelote offers Pelota for boys and girls aged seven and up. This adds another sporting option to the golf facilities when choosing where to stay, with a specific age range stated. If you are travelling with children, this information can help you decide whether the Pelota offering suits their interests. Golf and Pelota offer different emphases: one centres on a course with details about its size and landscape, while the other focuses on an offering with a stated age range.

Church, architectural history and ship model

Église Saint-Barthélemy adds a cultural heritage dimension. The church is listed in the Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel and was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. Inside, visitors can also see a ship model donated by the Legasse family. These details offer different perspectives: the rebuilding relates to the history of the building, while the ship model is a specific object with a named donor. If you are interested in churches, you can distinguish between the building’s history and a particular detail inside.

Getting there and choosing where to stay

Bassussarry has good connections via the A63 and A64 motorways. Biarritz Parme Airport is ten minutes from Bassussarry. The details offer different reference points: the motorways indicate road connections, while the time given relates to the airport. When deciding whether Bassussarry could be a place to stay overnight, you can therefore first consider how you will arrive, then weigh your interest in golf, Pelota or a visit to the church.
