Anglet, its history<\/h1>\n\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Want to know all about the history of Anglet?\nIf so, this is the place for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For centuries, Anglet has been a corner of land caught between the Atlantic coastline and the Adour river.\nWhere the sandy Landes coast meets the rocky Basque coast, marking the end of the Pyrenees mountain range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here in Anglet, the Pyrenees are truly Atlantic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Anglet has gone from being a small rural market town of 5,700 inhabitants to the Little California of the Basque Country, with a population of over 40,000. This puts Anglet in 3rd<\/sup> place among the largest towns in the Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es-Atlantiques region, behind Pau and Bayonne!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
