The Pays Basque is located in the department Yrénées-Atlantiques and the area Aquitaine. It was formed following the law Pasqua which makes country true a Territoire of project, based on a local will.

It includes/understands 158 communes for a surface of 2.967 km ².

These communes are distributed between several inter-commune structures:

and 11 isolated communes

The name given to this country can induce in error while letting think that it gathers the communes of the old Basque provinces of the Labourd, of the Low-Navarre and the Soule. If that is true for the majority of the communes, the delimitation does not take account of certain communes like Bayonne and more still Boucau as well as the communes of the sector of Bidache, which are Gascon. It is acted in fact of a delimitation which follows the limits of the cantons.
