Here in the southwest of France they practice a unique version of bullfighting ! This is called “La Course Landaise”, and I think these lads are plenty brave! #courselandaise Private driver-guide sightseeing tours: the safest way to visit France and Northern Spain… the Basque Country!

BAYONNE, BIARRITZ, and the FRENCH BASQUE COUNTRY
This region is - for me - the most surprising and unexpected part of France, by far.
Most people - when asked about Basque Country think: Spain
But the Basque country actually straddles the border between France and Spain.
It’s comprised of 7 counties: 4 are in Spain ; and the other 3 are in France.
The Basque culture is very unique - just like the Basque language: Euskera.
The 2 are intertwined.
The Basque Country is not really a really country at all; at least not an independent Nation by definition.
So what is it that makes these people so unique, so proud of their culture; their “nationality”?
The answer is … the language.
The only real qualification for being Basque - is being able to speak the language.
The Basque people consider anyone who properly speaks the language - to be Basque.
…and Euskera is fascinating. This is the oldest language in Europe.
It’s completely unrelated to French, Spanish, or anything Latin, or Germanic, Slavic etc.
I’ve always been passionate about languages.
My mom spoke German to me as a child, my dad spoke French, and I grew up attending bilingual Spanish classes in New Mexico.
Languages became a passion for me. I first learned about the Basque Language in University.
So now - living in Southwest France - I've decided to learn to speak Euskera.
…Massive challenge.
Good Morning in French: “Bonjour” In Spanish: “Buenos Dias” Basque: EGUN ON!
Thanks: Merci : Gracias : ESKERRIK ASKO!
I don’t even pronounce the words properly => I keep trying to put the accent on the wrong syllable.
In addition to the language you’ll discover fascinating sports, marvelous architecture, and fascinating history.
Come visit the Basque Country with me!
