Bidache is a very small town! There is a large parking next to city hall. You will be able to park along Chemin de Sarritte for the wedding reception. Alternatively, you can leave your car next to city hall and walk from there to the wedding reception (15-20min walk uphill).
If you're planning to stay a little longer, there are many options for week-long rentals. Go inland for some quiet time or hit the coast for beaches and festive evenings.
