 Go to Pyrenees, or Gascogne
 Cadogan Guide to Gascony & the Pyrenees
written by Dana Facaros, with Michael PaulsFrom the Cadogan Guides series. Shared by the Gascons, Basques and Catalans, this idiosyncratic southwest corner of France has more than the beauty of the towering Pyrenees to buttonhole your attention. Discover some of Europe's best surfing beaches, transcendent stained glass in Auch cathedral, armagnac distilleries, delicious Basque villages in emerald meadows, monster-filled Romanesque cloisters, old-fashioned seaside gentility in Biarritz and Bayonne, and the tiny mountaintop principality of Andorra. In an increasingly homogenized world, quirks and passions thrive here with all the panache of d'Artagnan, and this new edition of Cadogan's witty guide ensures you miss none of the fun. This guide offers practical travel advice, over 400 hand-picked places to stay, over 250 restaurants, bars and cafes, the best mountain walks, drives, climbs and ski centers as well as local recipes, vineyard and wine-tasting. - over 400 hand-picked places to stay
