This old town is nestled in between two steep limestone cliffs. Situated near the Gorges du Verdon, it is a great place to explore, and a great base to explore the area from as well.

Beach Time at Biarritz
Our next stop was further south along the Atlantic coast. Biarritz is a popular seaside and beach town on the Atlantic south western coast of France.
