Background  St-Jean-de-Luz took its place in the history books when in 1660 it was the scene of the marriage of the young Louis XiV – France's 'Sun King' – to the Spanish Infanta, Princess Marie-Thérèse. The house in which the Infanta stayed, the house with three turrets, remains one of the town's principal attractions. In 1956 St-Jean-de-Luz was gaining in popularity as a beach resort.
