The red, green and white colours of the Basque Country

The colourful Basque Country is down in South-West France on the Atlantic coast, at the foot of the Pyrenees and just across the border from Spain.

You can see the colours of the Basque flag in the bright red of the pimento peppers from the village of Espelette, the deep green of the rolling meadowland and the white of the houses that are dotted around the steep hillsides.

To this, Biarritz adds the deep blue of the Atlantic that pounds its splendid beaches
