A real Basque beret<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can’t resist bringing back a souvenir that sets the tone for your trip, you’ll definitely want to pick up a traditional Basque beret. Formerly worn by B\u00e9arn shepherds and knitted from ewe’s wool, the famous felt beret is now available in a wide range of models, from the most classic to the most fashionable. Try it and you’ll love it! A good address? Founded in 1830, Laulh\u00e8re, in Oloron-Sainte-Marie<\/strong>, is the last French manufacturer of the genuine Basque beret. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

A pair of espadrilles<\/h2>\n\n

And not just any espadrille: espadrilles made in Maul\u00e9on-Licharre<\/strong>, THE espadrille capital of France! The star shoe of summer, rugged, chic and casual, the Basque espadrille is hand-sewn using 100% natural products: cotton canvas in a wide range of colors and a rubber-covered, woven jute sole. A timeless classic! <\/p>\n\n

A game of Basque pelota<\/h2>\n\n

When you think of the Basque Country<\/strong>, you immediately think of pelota, the traditional game of jeu de paume in which players hit a ball against a wall. And what could be more typical than a leather pelota (made from buffalo or Oteiza pigskin) and a nice pair of wooden rackets (called palas and paletas)? As you wander around, you’re sure to come across a craft workshop where you can unearth that rare object, or a fronton where you can try out your new toy! <\/p>\n\n

Basque linen<\/h2>\n\n

If you’re looking for a souvenir to brighten up your home, think Basque linen, for the house, table and bathroom. In the past, Basque linen was a linen cloth decorated with 7 colorful stripes (representing the 7 Basque provinces), used to protect oxen from heat and mosquitoes. Today, the art of Basque-style weaving comes in all its forms, and in cotton: tablecloths, towels, aprons, curtains, cushions, quilts, bags, pouches… In Espelette, Biarritz<\/strong> or Saint-Jean-de-Luz<\/strong>, the Lartigue family and the Tissage de Luz workshop have been perpetuating this heritage for over 100 years, combining creative craftsmanship and modernism. Now you’re in trouble! <\/p>\n\n

Typically Basque local produce<\/h2>\n\n

Holidaymakers who want to pack a few flavours in their suitcases are spoilt for choice… While Espelette<\/strong> chilli pepper is certainly the best-seller, other gastronomic specialities are easy to find: Bayonne<\/strong> ham , veal axoa, Iberian dried pudding, Basque piperade, Ossau-Iraty<\/strong> cheese, Basque cherry cake, A\u00efnhoa<\/strong> gingerbread. .. And the list goes on and on. The list also includes Bayonne chocolate, Iroul\u00e9guy<\/strong> red wines and Hasparren<\/strong> craft beers. <\/p>\n\n

A souvenir with a Basque cross on it!<\/h2>\n\n

A strong emblem of the Basque Country<\/strong>, the Basque Cross, known as “lauburu” (four heads). This helix-shaped cross, formed by 4 comma-shaped branches, can be found everywhere: in jewelry (pendants, bracelets, earrings, rings, cufflinks, etc.), embroidered on a napkin, engraved on a shepherd’s knife (the famous Bakunadar) or a Makhila (the traditional walking stick), on Basque leather goods, magnets to decorate the fridge, the famous red scarves of the f\u00e9rias, and much, much more. In short, absolutely in-con-tour-nable! <\/p>\n\n
