« Un Basque n'est ni Français, ni Espagnol ; il est basque et c'est tout. » - Victor Hugo
Saint-Jean-de-Luz, on the Atlantic coast of France just a few kilometers from the Spanish border, is an enchanting town with a rich Basque culture and a history that includes whaling, pirates, and a royal wedding (King Louis XIV to María Teresa, the Infanta of Spain in 1600).
