The Basque Region

Pelote Basque
The Basque region is tucked into
the South West corner of France situated at the foot of the Pyrenees
and extending to the Bay of Biscay on the Atlantic coast and along the Spanish
border . With the mountain
backdrop and its impressive coastline this is a region steeped in
historical interest and tradition where it is still home to its mysterious
native residents. It offers immense natural beauty with
both the mountains and the sea as well as districts of remote country
beauty where sheep graze the lonely pastures quite undisturbed.
Biarritz
is probably the best known part of the Basque coast made famous by
Napolean III's wife Eugenie de Montijo boasting fashionably smart hotels
and sophisticated shopping. Then there is St Jean de Luz just
a few kilometres south of Biarritz, a pretty little fishing village with
cobbled walkways and a maze of restaurants and of course the beach.
A few kilometres further south is Hendaye with its large expanse of
beach and easy access to Spain by means of a little ferry across the bay.
This coast offers
some of the best Surfing in Europe and as a result has become the European
base for much of the international surf industry.

Golf courses, of which
there are many, surfing, skiing, walking, wonderful beaches,
Thalassotherapy Centres are just a few of the many activities to choose
from.
The beautiful inland
scenery, the endless coastline and of course the great weather are all
great reasons to visit this varied region not forgetting of course the
convenience of being able to fly in to Biarritz airport with Ryanair.
