Description

Built in Ychoux, the fronton is a wall against which Basque pelota is played. It is an architectural element present in almost all the towns and villages of the French Basque Country but also in the Landes department.

The wall is erected at the end of a free square which serves as a playing field for the following specialties: bare hand, rebot, joko-garbi, grand chistera, grosse pala, paleta leather and paleta full rubber.

The open court is a generally uncovered area consisting of one wall, or two (one at each end). There are pediments of all sizes (10 to 16 meters wide and about 6 to 10 meters high), some are even covered.
