St. Etienne de Baigorry was just 11 km from St. Jean Pied-de-Port. Just before entering the town is Cave d'Irouleguy, France's smallest appellation at just over 500 acres.
Every town has a church. Basque churches are two-tiered, with wooden balconies where the men sit. They are "closer to God" while the women sit below, standing guard over the family's tombstone.
