We are Looking to do the Rick Steves Basque tour in mid-September. We're going to fly into Paris and spend 2 or 3 days just outside of Paris to acclimatize to the time change and culture changes. Then train down to Bayonne FR to start the tour. Then after the tour ends in Bilbao SP... take about 14 to 16 days traveling back to Paris,
What would all you world travelers recommend as a slow route back to Paris? Over to Barcelona and then north? Or, up the French Atlantic coast through Bordeaux Country? Something else?
Yes... Sept. 15th to the 23rd starting in Bayonne France. Any recommendations for after the tour? Looking at Barcelona and then working our way back to Paris.
