Hendaye is the furthest point in the South West of France you can go, a frontier town with Spain and confined on the edge of both the Atlantic Ocean and Pyrenees Mountains. Hendaye is a sprawled town, split into 2 main areas and separated by 2 kms. The old medieval Basque Town is situated on a hill top and commands good views of the Bay of Chingoudy and the river Bidassoa estuary below to the North & West, with the impressive scenery of the foot hills of the Pyrenees Mountains to the West, South & East. Here in the town is where you find most of the shops, the Mairie, Pelote Basque etc.Donna La Mattino Pagakis August 15, 2009
