The first French Hiking guide to address the entire Basque territory

At the end of the Pyrenees, in the heart of the Gulf of Gascony between Spain and France, is the Basque Country or Euskal Herria in Basque language. Composed of seven provinces, this mosaic country is above all the country of the Basque language, the Euskara, one of the oldest languages ​​in Europe.
North, we distinguish The Labourd, Lower Navarre and Soule, which are part of the Department of Pyrénées - Atlantiques, constituting the Basque Country agglomeration community. To the south, are the biscay, the gipuzkoa and the alava which form the Basque autonomous community. Navarre is only another autonomous region of the Spanish state. Each of these two communities is administered by his own government. On this land of contrasts, the Pyrenean reliefs round up and then are lost in the waves of the Atlantic, the green oceanic valleys extend to the Mediterranean plains and the agricultural hills rub shoulders with vast forest areas.

For the first time, a practical guide tries to describe the whole French and Spanish Basque Country, and proposes the discovery according to these 56 hikes of all levels, certainly the most beautiful. This is a tour guide as a topoguide. His approach to the country, and his human geography is done by walking. We have focused on penetrating the most remote and authentic corners.
