An events and reception agency in Biarritz and the Basque Country

Originally a family transport business, we now have 45 years' experience and a passion for the job that's still intact. Never short of ideas, tailor-made creation is our daily business and a job well done is in our genes. It's a real pleasure to be able to take a tailor-made approach to our work; we hand-sew our programmes so that they are like no other.

Our strengths

As the 3rd generation of a transport company called "BASQUE BONDISSANT", the next generation is continuing the journey with brio. We are deeply rooted in the region where we were born and over the years we have forged links and developed an intimate knowledge of the area, ensuring that today we are pioneers, avant-gardists and discoverers of unusual places with innovative concepts.

Key figures: More than 100 events a year, from a 10-person executive committee meeting to an evening event for 2,500 people. 

Over 150 conferences have put their trust in us for our "IDEE'HALLES" cocktail reception at the market.

A vibrant cocktail that reflects our image!

List of ingredients:
- A handful of super-lively people
- A heaped spoonful of solid experience
- A ladle of creativity
- A tall glass of seriousness and adaptability

Our creativity: that's what drives us forward. It was great yesterday, but it will be even better tomorrow. Like a craftsman constantly at the workbench, we're always honing our craft, looking for new sources of inspiration, observing the zeitgeist, the pleasure of new and enriching places and people, the venues that arouse a particular emotion and make new human experiences possible. So yes, we've often been copied but never equalled, and that drives us to go further and further in search of the best.

Our serious approach: The taste for a job well done is in our genes. From the very first moment you contact us, our team will work together to offer you a programme that meets your expectations. We'll always be there to listen to you, and a contact will be with you every step of the way.
