It takes a day or two, but the first thing one notices about the scenery all around Pays Basque is the absence of visual clutter – no neon, no billboards, no heaps of clunker cars or abandoned machinery. It’s just not there. Every blink is a postcard.
We loved the distinctive flavor of Basque country. The architecture, the cheese, the wine and the people all take a hard turn from typical French culture. Even with all of France’s distinctive regions, Pays Basque feels like a world of its own.
I would want to visit Pays Basque. Seems idyllic. I particularly like your description “every blink is like a postcard.” 🙂
We still haven’t posted all. more to come from that great week.
