Have you ever visited those areas? We&#8217;ve both been so busy we haven&#8217;t had much time to do any research, so I thought I&#8217;d ask you for advice and recommendations. San Sebastian, Biarritz, and Bayonne sound lovely, with maybe a stop in Toulouse or Bordeaux. Is there anything we can&#8217;t miss? And I&#8217;d love to do a little day hiking in the Pyrenees, if possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/spring-break.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-60126\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/spring-break-760x550.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/spring-break-760x550.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/spring-break-500x362.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/spring-break-768x556.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/spring-break-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The prints on these adorable bloomers are so sweet!
