Sames is a small commune in the north-west of the department of Pyrénées Atlantiques, 35 km away from Bayonne. Although its origins and history are Gascon, Sames is now considered to be a part of the Basque Country. The commune is therefore special in this part of the Southwest: it is part of a "pivotal" country located on the borders of the Basque Country, Béarn and Gascony. You can enjoy the water park of Sames or you can take part in fun sports activities such as paddling, water ski, water slides and many more!
Bring a warm sleeping bag, work clothes, comfortable walking shoes, warm clothing and rain gear, a flashlight, a swimsuit and sunscreen.
If you wish, you can bring musical instruments, recipes, games and/or specialties from your region or country.
