In the French Basque village of Larressore, the same family has been making the makhila for six generations. This traditional Basque walking stick is made with wood from medlar trees, which is then adorned with engraved metal and has a spike hidden under its knob: the stick can also be used for self-defence. From Charles de Gaulle to Pope Jean-Paul II and Charlie Chaplin, all the great men of the world have received a makhila. "You are here" takes you to discover this pillar of Basque culture.
