Auberge Ostapé

Auberge Ostapé

The 12th-century village of Bidarray is nestled in le Pays Basque, 'Euskal Herria', a country in itself, with a French and a Spanish part, 'Ipharalde' and 'Euzkadi' in Basque. The largest province of the French Basque Country is Basse-Navarre, a wonderful region between rolling green hills and the ridges of the Pyrenees. Past and tradition have been preserved in all their beauty, white houses with wooden balconies flaunt in small squares where the inhabitants stubbornly continue to speak Basque, brighten up their festivals with the national sport 'pelote', and hospitably spoil their visitors with the most delicious fish and meat. Life is sweet in the Basque country....
