Of course that could have been romantic, but come on, you have to admit, we have had our fair share of rainy weather this spring, but then again maybe you like this soup we’ve been living in. One reason for our trip was to escape it and go to the beach. Not to mention I think we both got sick as a result and our time in Bordeauz was limited due to my illness and now Jean-Jacques is sick on his birthday too. Boo Hoo for us.

Hmm. I remember a May trip to Biarritz when it rained the whole time. I loved it! An excuse to stay in the bedroom with my lover of the époque!

Biarritz was very grand and I am glad I went but it wasn’t my cup of tea. We weren’t even planning on going to San Sebastian because we thought we’d just spend 3 days on the beach in Biarritz. Since it rained the whole time we went to San Sebastian. We loved it, my post is almost done.

Welcome back Owen, yes I found Biarritz to be very grand…but I enjoyed picturing it from when it was in its heyday. Can’t wait to read what you thought of and did in San Sebastien, I loved my stay there (I too had crap weather though). Did you make it round to the Bilbao?

I think eveyone who visits France should go, I would just caution someone to put it in an appropriate order on their paces to visit list. I love going to the ocean and swimming in the water with big waves, for that reason alone it is worth it. If you want a more tranquil environment you should definitely go to the Mediterranean. It is also an older city. The young go to the beach but the old dominate the cultural landscape, so it depends on what you are looking for. The architecture of the city looked decidedly less “French” to me. It was beautiful but something other than what I was expecting. I think I saw the most swanky BMW dealership I have ever seen in my life there. It was the ground floor of a luxury resort located right on the ocean, well on a bluff overlooking the ocean, quite impressive, but gives you a sense of what the place is like.

I’ve never been to Biarritz and will most likely never go, it just isn’t my thing. I wonder if the rich still go there or if it’s all just jerks who save every penny they can get their hands on to show off for a couple of days.

I still want to go anyway. I’ll just wait until I win the lottery. Also, the chocolate museum will be a must for me. I am forever on chocolate education vacations. Can’t really imagine any other kind…

In this sunny weathered image, it looks all that – Biarritz.
