    It covers everything from Basque mythology to the city's history under French and Spanish rule (with many absurd wars), fishing, and the border. Everything is explained in French and Basque, and often also in Spanish and English. There are videos and games, and it's also suitable for children. You can see and discover everything in an hour and a half. (I didn't visit the escape room.) It's located near the center of Hendaye, which has been getting quite nice lately. - The student discount is great; I was hoping for one for seniors and the unemployed.
