Visit the Pays Basque
Discover the Pays Basque (Le Labourd, Basse-Navarre, La Soule)
Like Corsica or Catalonia, the Pays Basque has a strong cultural identity. Proud to be Basque before being French or Spanish. The Basque language as well as certain traditions typical of this country such as for example the "Basque pelota" are elements which weld the Basques between them, recognize themselves through a territory "on horseback" between France and Spain.

Discover the beaches of the Pays Basque
The beaches of the Basque Country stretch over nearly 35 kilometers from Hendaye, a border town with Spain, to Anglet at the gates of the Landes territory. Tanning, water sports and holidays with family or friends await you. You will discover fine sandy beaches, but also wilder and steeper places.

Discover the mountains of the Basque Country
The advantage of the mountains of the Basque Country is that you can leave with your family for the day... have a picnic and enjoy the nature that surrounds you... but it can also be longer hikes up to several days for the bravest who take the GR10. And why not snowshoe hikes in the middle of winter!

Discover the most beautiful villages of the Basque Country
The Basque country has a large number of exceptional villages. Whether they are on the shores of the ocean, at the foot of the mountain or inland, they are all worth a visit. Our trip begins on the shores of the ocean, in the towns of Ciboure and St Jean de Luz, which are difficult to separate, as they are close together.
