You step from a leather-upholstered car onto wind-bright rock at Rocher de la Vierge; the Atlantic pushes against basalt and sand, spray tasting faintly of salt and kelp. The driver closes the door and the day unfolds along the Côte des Basques: a sequence of wide beaches, a working port, and a lighthouse that points inland toward the low hills where the Pyrenees begin.
