Guiche, a town bordering Béarn, is located about thirty kilometers from Bayonne and has many surprises in store. Its inhabitants, the Guichots, are true lovers of their village and bring it to life to make it warm and welcoming.
The Gantxo Restaurant
It was Laurent Miremont, owner of the place, who welcomed us to his establishment, Le Gantxo. A child of the country, he decided to return to the sources of his childhood with his wife in 2009 and, together, they took over this place. Both in the kitchen, they offer refined bistro cuisine in an absolutely magnificent setting in the port of Guiche district.
pop base
Located on the Lac des Arroques, or Lac de Guiche, which was originally a quarry that was filled with water from natural underground springs, the Base de Pop de Guiche offers a whole range of water activities for the whole family. family. From water jumping to mini pop and stag and hen parties, all in the exceptional setting offered by this lake. Lucien Soulier is the creator of this place and has made it a place of conviviality in which young and old will have a great time. Reopening for the 2022 season on Saturday June 4!
Engraved kiwis
Bernard Azam is a fervent defender of nature and this also goes through his activity. For more than thirty years, he has been producing green and yellow kiwis in Guiche, with total respect for nature and with a concern for ecology. It is therefore quite naturally that he refused to put plastic labels on his fruit. He therefore decides to get a machine that can laser engrave the epidermis of kiwis, without altering the quality, in order to indicate the necessary information that is usually found on the labels.

The Pop Triathlon
A brand new event this year at Guiche is the Pop Triathlon. Stéphan Ségoviano is a triathlon buff who set up his own club in Anglet. He wanted to offer a triathlon of its kind and found Lac de Guiche as a place. With the difference in altitude present in the town, it is very simply that he has traced the course of this sporting event which will be held on Saturday 28 May. Big news, the afternoon race in pairs will start with a descent on one of the toboggans of the pop base. Registration is done: here.
