Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ pe syʁ nivɛl], literally Saint-Pée on Nivelle; Basque: Senpere)[3] is a village and a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in southwestern France.[4] It is part of the traditional Basque province of Labourd.[3]
The village is scattered in several neighbourhoods, with the main nucleus located at a crossroads. As its name in French conveys, the village is located on the river Nivelle.
The village is renowned for the "Herri Urrats" festival in support of the Basque-language schools (ikastolak) held in May on a yearly basis at the Lake of Senpere since the early 1980s. Tens of thousands of people turn out. It is located in the Arrondissment of Bayonne.
