As a teenager, I spent a couple of weeks in the Basque fishing village of St-Jean-de-Luz (near Biarritz). I went to summer school there for French, but picked up a little Basque, which I've completely forgotten LOL

It was a memorable time. The people were super friendly and welcoming. I hope to go back there one day.
