Cambo les Bains

The climatic resort of Cambo-les-Bains (alt. 65m/215ft; pop. 4,416) lies above the valley of the Nive, in the Basque country. The lower part of the town, Bas-Cambo, has preserved its typically Basque character. The Villa Arnaga, 1.5km/1mi west, was the home of the playwright Edmond Rostand (1868-1918); it now contains a small museum. There is a monument to Rostand in the center of the town.
