I lived in Bayonne when I was young. Some day I want to go back and visit relatives in both of the Basques, the French Basques and Spanish Basque.

@@nicodemonapolitano5074not really, the French basques are practically French. The Spanish basques are an autonomous region which were allowed to keep their cultural traditions intact including their language. That’s why over 70% of native speakers are on the a Spanish side of Navarre

This is why we love Europe! Everything is so quaint. like a story book!

I loved watching this, I'm very much French Basque and it's nice to hear a little about my culture.

No, i'm basque and i'm feel french also!

About 20% of the Basque country is in France.

I visited Espelette, Bayonne, Biarritz, Bidart, St. Jean-Pied-de-Port and a number of other sites two years ago. Absolutely wonderful! Wanted to hike el Camino this year, but the pandemic made me postpone that plan until 2021.

rick steves is the most !

i love rick steves!

Freedom for the basque people!

Loved the video, my ancestry is one of the oldest names in that area at that time.

Relatively yes. Basque Country is in western piryneos (cantabric sea) and Catalonia in eastern piryneos (mediterranean sea). Both of two nations have a part in spanish state and another one in french state. Both they are between Spain and France.

+moody even when Spain doesn't existed as a country, basque people had our land as Basco ía (basque people ' s land) in Navarra (the origen of basque culture) centuries before christ. Take note!

Wow

Basque land will be free and united

part of catalonia and italy(corsica), and belgium and celtic country(bretagene) and germany alsace are france as well.

Bayonne (Baiona in basque ) comes from Ibai ona (good river) So Baiona is crossed by a river

"inferno" design of houses, counter-strike: GO

I recomend to see "Around the world - The land of the basques" from Orson Welles, and as he said "The people fron here aren't french nor spanish they are basques". So Basque Country is Basque culture not french nor spanish.

I was born in Espelette.

Gascony are mixed latin/basque just a bit of info.

Basque country: basque culture.

@@allande1977 yes, the point is that basque cutlure today is also mixed with french culture , taht's why it said french culture in the title. The basque region of france is different from the basque region of spain today. People that want an independant basque country don't seem to understand that apart from a dozen people in the whole region nobody wants an independant basque region since they feel french. Fun fact: The basque and gascon are renowed for their patriotism to france in the last century and especially in ww1

@@danemon8423 I appreciate your condescension. It's always fun to have others explain your life, your history, your culture. I'm just going to point out the arrogance with which you put your knowledge forward. Your words are peremptory. You say them with a lot of self-satisfaction. The Basque Country is what it is because it has managed to keep its language alive. A living Basque language allowed an extremely strong culture. A culture that has appropriated external influences, which has mixed them with local ones. But make no mistake, it's still Basque culture. Regarding the fact that the North and the South of the Basque Country are "different", that the Basques and the Gascons were the most patriotic soldiers... I do not wish to comment on these approximations. Political subjects are not the purpose of my remark. In the Basque country, the Basques live, think and develop their culture in Basque, while drawing influences from the world, as always with us.
