The village of Saint-Jean-le-Vieux is nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees in the heart of the Basque Country. The surrounding hills are dotted with protohistoric remains that bear witness to a rich history. The Roman Empire had positioned one of its most important garrisons there, contributing to the development of the village.

It is a typical small village in Iparralde, right next to the main town Sant-Jean-Pied-Port-de-Port. There is nothing special about it, but if you pass by it, you should enjoy it. There is a nice fountain in the centre of the village.
