Recommendations for tour activities prior to the Basque Tour

Hello,

I have a window of 4 days before starting the Basque tour. I was thinking of going to Lourdes - and looking for other activities. I am totally unfamiliar with southwestern France. I would love some recommendations.

Thank you, Terry

You have quite a few choices. Lourdes is beautiful and can easily be combined with Pau. If the weather is good, there are a plethora of great hikes from these towns. Another choice might be Saint Jean de Luz and Biarritz on the Atlantic. Both beautiful. Or you could spend a few days in the charming city of Bordeaux then take the train to Bayonne to start your tour. Lots of options!
