Saint-Jean-de-Luz Coastline and the Pyrénées

Papa and I enjoyed Saint-Jean-de-Luz, with its pedestrian friendly shopping, beautiful beach, architecture, and history.  We stayed at Les Almadies, a very nice small hotel in the center of the village.  I got up early yesterday morning, and went for a walk along the beach and up the hill to a lookout point.  The Pyrénées are the backdrop for Saint-Jean-de-Luz.  At 7 in the morning, trash was being picked up, the beach was being raked.  Everyone was working to make Saint-Jean-de-Luz an appealing destination.  They succeeded with us! 

We drove to Toulouse via the péage, to pick up our car lease, with the Pyrénées to our south the whole way.  We enjoyed the views through the clouds.
