Pyrenees Atlantiques

The Pyrenees Atlantiques department is the southernmost part of the Aquitaine region, bordered by Spain, the Pyrenees mountains, and the Atlantic coast. This area is steeped in history and culture, being home to both the Bearn and the famous Basque Country. The cities of Pau, Bayonne, and Biarritz are the main urban centres, each offering unique historical and cultural landmarks. Pau is known for its formidable Chateau and as the birthplace of King Henry IV of France. Bayonne boasts Roman fortifications and the 14th Century Cathedral of Sainte Marie, while Biarritz is a premier seaside resort on the Cote Basque.

After the death of Henry IV, the area was attached to the Kingdom of France in 1620. The Bearn mainly consists of the valleys of the Gave d'Oloron and the Gave de Pau, which are famous for their excellent salmon and trout fishing. To the East of the Bearn are the vineyards of the Jurancon, and the mountains boast three ski resorts which offer skiing for all levels.
