Luquin is a town located in the province of Navarre, in the autonomous community of Navarre, in the North of Spain in the Basque Territory, which straddles the Piranes Mountains on both the Spanish & French sides.

Originally we were the Luqui which are known as the "people of the plaines" and lived on the plaines of France. Later as many of the Basque people were driven out of lower France & Spain our family took refuge in the mountains where they built Long-houses which are called inns, and so the town where we settled became known as the Luqui inn. Later this was shortened to Luqui'nn then Luquin.
