Tourism, livestock farming, and fishing, are the principal sources of revenue of Navarre's truncated territories under French administration -- the northern Basque territories of Behe-Nafarroa, Lapurdi and Zuberoa.
Lapurdi is a one of the best-known resorts on the Atlantic coast, its chief source of revenue being the tourist trade.
In recent years Lapurdi has become -- as the Basque territories under Spanish administration, Navarre, Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa -- a heaven for multinationals who come here attracted by tax breaks to assist them in their exploitation of the already cheap labor, and their ruling of the physical environment.
