France - The Pyrenees
Straddling the border between France and Spain, the Pyrenees offer magnificent scenery, a sunny climate and fantastic walking and cross-country skiing. The Mediterranean Pyrenees, where the Catalan flag flies proudly, are dotted with old stone villages and Romanesque churches, while the Basque Pyrenees are characterised by villages of whitewashed houses with green and red shutters. Both areas boast a distinctive gastronomy.
