About the Federation Francaise de Pilote Basque
The Federation Francaise de Pilote Basque governs Basque Pelota in the French Basque Country (Biarritz-Bayonne) and throughout France.
About Basque Pelota
Pelota is the Traditional Game of the Basque People of Sourthwest France and North Central Iberia (Spain). Their language is the oldest in Europe, and the only non-Indo-European language left in Western Europe according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and therefore with some justification the Basques refere to themselves as the only Native Europeans. The sport is similar to the GAA and European game of Handball, played with a curved glove which is used to propel the ball off one of two perpendicluar walls on a four-sided court, with the other two sides open.
