Saint-Jean-le-Vieux (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒɑ̃ vjø] ; Basque: Donazaharre) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France.[3]

History

The town of Saint-Jean-le-Vieux was razed to the ground in 1177 by the troops of Richard the Lionheart after a siege. The Kings of Navarre refounded the town at nearby Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port as the regional capital shortly afterwards. Saint-Jean-le-Vieux was also resettled.
