PAU

The city of Pau is home to many students so it is lively and has many very historic buildings, wide streets and plazas plus wonderful views of the Pyrenees when the sky is clear.  This whole region seems much friendlier and open than those areas in more touristy places.  I'm sticking to villages as much as possible.  The camping site is free and right beside the city which is small so it was easy to stroll around.  Unfortunately the peaks did not show themselves while I was there.

The peaks are behind those lower clouds
