Pyrénées-Atlantiques is one of the five departments of Aquitaine. It takes its name from the Pyrenees mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.
The parts of the department that were part of Guyenne and Béarn have a culture heavily influenced by the Basques. And both the Gascon language and the Basque language are indigenous to the region here. Gascon is an Occitan language that is more closely related to Catalan than it is to French. Basque is a language of it's own.
