Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Department in southwestern Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.
Located between Spain and the Atlantic Ocean, Pyrénées-Atlantiques encompasses an area of 7,645 square kilometers with Pau as its prefecture capital.
The department emerged from parts of Guyenne, Gascony, and Béarn-Navarre provinces during the French Revolution in March 1790 as Basses-Pyrénées.
The territory combines distinct Basque and Béarnais identities, with three languages flourishing across its regions: French, Basque, and Gascon Béarnais.
Three administrative districts organize the department: Bayonne handling coastal matters, Oloron-Sainte-Marie managing mountain areas, and Pau coordinating central operations.
The department spans from sea level at the Bay of Biscay to nearly 3,000 meters elevation in the Pyrenees mountains within its territory.
Location: Nouvelle-Aquitaine
Inception: March 4, 1790
Shares border with: Gers, Hautes-Pyrénées, Landes, Huesca Province, province of Navarra, Gipuzkoa
