use PBE\BaseBundle\PBEBaseBundle;

...

public function registerBundles()
{
   $bundles = array(
       new FrameworkBundle(),
       ...
       new PBEBaseBundle()
   );

   ...
}

Finally you need to add the base.css file to your page_head_style.html.twig like this:, _(*8)

{% stylesheets
    '@eZDemoBundle/Resources/public/css/bootstrap.css'
    ...
    '@PBEBaseBundle/Resources/public/css/base.css'
%}
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ asset_url }}"/>

{
    return 'PBEBaseBundle';

                        'parentFolderLocationId': 86,
                        'directlyIncludedLocations': {
                            101: {
                                'locationId': 70,
                                'limit': 8
                            }
