We spent our first full day in Biarritz-Bayonne walking to the Planète Musée du Chocolat (The Planet Chocolate Museum), then through “downtown” and back along the shoreline. This overlooks the old marina.

We explored Bayonne and spent time in the municipal library xeroxing copies of archival materials about the Jews and chocolate in the city.

Our last evening in the Biarritz-Bayonne area, we had dinner at a lovely little seaside restaurant in Guethery we learned about from Philippe and Monica who we met on our trip down the Nile.

Sorry, no portrait today in Toulouse.

We visited the medieval city of Carcassone on our way from Toulouse to Narbonne… then to Perpignon’s suburb, Canet, for Shabbat.

A restful Shabbat walking along the beach in Canet (a 5 minute walk from our van). Those are the Pyrenees behind us… we’ll cross them on Sunday on our way back to Spain.

Leaving France via the coastal road along the edge of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean we bought some wine at a roadside stand along the edge of a clif, then continued on to Girona (Gerona) where we visited the sweet little Jewish museum. We took our picture in its courtyard before continuing on to Barcelona for some exploration and camping 30 meters from the edge of the sea.
