This is your chance to explore France's three Basque provinces, visiting sites that reveal the natural beauty of the landscape and the colorful traditions of the Basques. You will discover coastal trails where waves break on rugged cliffs; beaches of white sand; sheep grazing on green mountain tops; rivers bubbling through valleys; picture-postcard villages where one still hears the ancient Basque language; and brightly painted houses with curtains of red pimientos drying on the facade.
