36 Hours in French Basque Country
Just 15 miles inland from the glitz of Biarritz and the seaside charm of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the Pays Basque hinterland feels a world away.

But the Pyrenees are serious mountains, stretching for nearly 500 kilometers between France and Spain and rising higher than 3400 meters in elevation. These are the less traveled pistes of France, with skiers and snowboarders here mainly coming from the […]
