FRANCE - Basque Country -
Pyrénées Atlantiques - Biarritz - Bayonne
Saint-Jean-de-Luz - Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port
The Basque region stretches 100 miles from Bilbao (Spain) north to Bayonne, France and is the home of the Basques; the ancient folk of Europe who preserve their own language and traditions to this day.
The French Basque Country has timbered row houses lining its river, pretty villages clinging to the rolling green foothills and is famous for its Silver Coast's endless beaches..
The Basque people are fiercely independent, still speak the Basque language, and identify more with their Spanish Basque neighbors in many ways than they do with their French neighbors.
