The village of La Bastide Clairance is one of the prettiest in France, I have been told. It is near Biarritz, in the northern Basque country. For a map, visit Pays en France.
And yes, it is a quaint place to visit. There is enough to see on a leisurely afternoon. We were there on Sunday afternoon and all shops were open.
At the information center, we visited a replicated Basque classroom in the back of the building. As an educator, I am always interested in classrooms, old and new.
I liked this short lesson on moral: One does not do a good job, if not done with joy, diligence, and love.
