A pediment is a wall against which you play the Basque ball. It is an architectural element present in almost all the towns and villages of the French Basque Country and, to a lesser extent, in neighbouring regions. The open space is a generally uncovered area consisting of a wall, or two (one at each end). There are pediments of all sizes (10 to 16 meters wide and 6 to 10 meters high), some are even covered.
