Cambo-les-Bains (Basque Kanbo) is a small village in the traditional Basque province of Labourd, now in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques département of southern France.
In 1900, Edmond Rostand, writer of the play Cyrano de Bergerac, came to Cambo-les-Bains because of his pulmonary disease. He was taken by the area and in time bought some land and had a house built. It was completed in 1906. His house, the Villa Arnaga, is now a heritage site and a museum devoted to Rostand's life and Basque architecture and crafts.
The Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz died in Cambo-les-Bains in 1909.
