Long live France!

Buga: 07.05.2024

We landed back in France after a relatively short journey!

What can I say, linguistically it's a little easier for me, although I can understand Spanish pretty well now when they speak slowly. But written Spanish is still much easier for me!

This time we are north of the Pyrenees, heading back towards Toulouse, because I still have a lot planned there with my best friend!

France is often so uncomplicated compared to Spain. Private providers often don't take dogs, but the municipal campsite we've just landed at has no problem with that. It's a small and very beautiful place that many people have never discovered on the map. (We wouldn't have without the campsite either!) Sauveterre de Béarn has an impressive castle, a beautiful Romanesque church and a path to an island that's wonderful for dogs. There are also small shops and the savoir vivre that we know from Spain, but which wasn't quite as warm in my opinion.

What do I mean by that? When we arrived here, I was given a friendly welcome at reception, my passport was scanned like in Spain, but then we were shown the place and the most important things were explained, which was not usually the case in Spain. It's a bit more personal and my rather rudimentary French was no problem, it was really nice! (In Morocco there would have been tea too, but I understand that this is probably not the norm here in Europe.)

We then went out into the town, which we found particularly interesting on Thursdays and Saturdays, with the market and the local pub being open. The nature is like in Zarautz, but unfortunately I haven't found any wild garlic yet. The elder is in full bloom, if I were at home I would make a syrup.

I also found the supermarket we used to replace the gas bottle to be small and cute compared to Spain. Let's see if the impression stays that way, the hikes look promising.

(I may have been a little tired of Spain, but Galicia was a real experience, as was Tarifa. I will miss the tostadas!)
