EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled along the picturesque coast of the Bay of Biscay in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques region of Nouvelle Aquitaine, France, lies the charming Basque village of Ciboure. Known for its distinctive red Basque houses with their half-timbered facades, this quaint seaside community has long been a favorite destination for travelers seeking a taste of the authentic Basque culture. The vibrant red hue of the houses is said to have originated from the local iron industry, which once thrived in the area. The intricate wooden frames and overlapping tiles create a unique architectural style that is distinctly Basque. Each house, adorned with traditional Basque awls, adds to the village's rich character and history. Ciboure is located just a few kilometers from the popular resort town of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, making it an ideal place to explore the best of both worlds. The village offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the local culture, from sampling traditional Basque cuisine to learning about the region's history and traditions. The Atlantic Ocean provides a stunning backdrop to the village, with its crystal-clear waters and gentle waves lapping against the shore. Whether you're taking a leisurely stroll along the coastline, enjoying a picnic on the beach, or simply soaking up the sun, Ciboure offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This photograph captures the essence of Ciboure, with its charming houses, picturesque setting, and the ever-present sound of the Atlantic Ocean in the background. It's a reminder of the beauty and richness of Europe's western coast and the unique character of the Basque region.
