A Great Trip to France
Last year I had one of the best holidays I have ever had in France. I am sometimes a bit reluctant to go on holiday in France, but we had found a really cheap flight to Biarritz, and that was one of my favourite areas of France. The only problem with France is the climate. You can always pretty much guarantee yourself some great weather if you head to the med, but on the western coast of France it can be pretty hit and miss.
Luckily for us, our trip to Biarritz last year coincided with France’s one heatwave of the year! We had a week there and the weather only broke on our last day! We spent nearly every day in the sea on the fabulous town beach, and I even learned to surf, taking advantage of the unusually small waves! Of course as always the food down there was fabulous, and I indulged myself in more than a few Americains, a baguette filled with steak and Fries, with a wonderful mix of different sauces. I can barely think of them now without salivating!
It was such a shock to be able to spend a week in France in the sun, and it has to some extent restored my faith in the weather over there. To be honest, I knew the risk when I set out there and even in the rain, Biarritz is a great place to be. The food is great, the surroundings are beautiful, and because they themselves are used to having bad weather, there is plenty to do when it rains!
