The Paris Euskal Etxea has been for 10 years in its clubhouse in the neighborhood of Saint Ouen, where it has become greatly involved with its neighbors and local associations. To celebrate this anniversary the club organized a complete program of activities from November 1-23. The atmosphere at these events was wonderful, according to member Maitane Larronde. One of the most striking events was the basquizing of the name of the neighborhood, where the mayor of Saint Ouen, Jacqueline Rouillon, re-baptized it as Santuene, a name chosen by the PEE members. Zorionak, then to the Basques of Santuene!
