Ustaritz

Ustaritz is an administrative division in the Basque region of southwestern France that spreads along the Nive River valley. It sits roughly 13 kilometers from Bayonne in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department.

Before the French Revolution, the town served as a central meeting place where Basque leaders gathered to discuss regional matters. This role established it as an important political center for the Basque region.

The Uzta Hitzan Festival in November and December showcases Basque traditions through music and performances by local artists. These events shape the character of the town and draw visitors interested in experiencing regional culture.

The train station provides regular connections to nearby towns and is easily accessible on foot from the town center. Visitors can explore the surrounding areas using public transportation from this convenient hub.

The area encompasses varying elevations and diverse landscapes that range from river valleys to rolling hills. This natural diversity creates different views and experiences as visitors move through the territory.
