    History and geography of Hendaye as well as the Basque country from different points of view (political, commercial, cultural, gastronomic, etc.). Well located chronologically in the History of France, Navarre, Spain... and the world. The animations, decorative elements, photos, illustrations and anecdotes are varied and interesting. It's a pleasant immersion. Circulation in the rooms is fluid. It is a very nice, informative and entertaining visit. Well done
