Esquiule (French pronunciation: [ɛskjul]; Basque: Eskiula) [3] is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France. [4]
It is located in the former province of Béarn. It stands out as an outpost of the Basque area of Soule, [3] the village being historically Basque speaking. It has often played host to the carnivalesque performances known as maskaradak and its inhabitants arranged and performed one traditional theatre piece of Soule ( pastorala) under the title Madalena de Jaureguiberry in 2000.
