St Pee sur Nivelle is part of the province of Labourd. Ever since the middle ages, together with Basse Navarre and Soule, these three provinces have together formed the northern Basque Country. From the XVIth century onwards this village, at the geographical crossroad linking the coast to the Basque hinterland, has sheltered pilgrims on their way to the shrine of St James of Compostella - witness the shell-shaped arch above the church's altar-screen and the many "hospice buldings" in the vicinity. The Basques are proud to share their cultural riches: the specific architecture of their houses, their choirs; their traditional dances; their mythical sports such as Basque Pelota and the imposing muscular demonstrations of "Basque Force" and their gastronomy.
