The French Basque Country, a uniquely appealing landscape
The changing face of the Atlantic, the lush green foothills and the ancient, cromlech-dotted peaks of the Pyrenees have all stamped their mark on the French Basque Country – a region of contrasts but also of harmony. A camping holiday in the French Basque Country provides the ideal opportunity for a little gentle exploring and time to sample the local cuisine and simply sit back and enjoy life.
The mythical natural landscapes of the French Basque Country
Setting out from your campsite inland into the French Basque Country, enjoy a leisurely drive through the rolling, green hills grazed by flocks of sheep, stopping off whenever the fancy takes you to admire and explore the lovely scenery, taking each moment as it comes. Inland, the unspoilt villages of Ascain, Ainhoa, Espelette and Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port proudly sport the green, red and white of the Basque flag. Here you can visit the prehistoric caves at Sare, the caves at Isturitz and Oxocelaya and, of course, the beautiful Iraty forest. The summit of La Rhune, so emblematic of the French Basque country and accessible by a narrow gauge rack-and-pinion railway, offers stunning views of this region of mystery and tradition.
