Swanning around Hendaye marina. Personally I don't see the point of a snail without wheels, but takes all sorts! 
Stroll along Hendaye beach, with obligatory ice-cream stop. Shame about the clouds, but TBH almost nicer like that.
Oh look... pintxos for... well, let's call this brunch Managed to squeeze some desert this time too. Delicious! 
Arriving in San Sebastian: little walk along La Concha before we get to the serious business of the day...
Sacre Coeur in Paris. Not often you see such beautiful light inside a church. Worth the climb up those steps! 
You know Paris hotels are notorious for small rooms? Goes for lifts too, we barely fit in this one! #TakeTheStairs
When in Paris: have Korean food for dinner OMG, the most succulent chicken here! Nice beer too. Yum, top marks! 
Palace of Versailles gardens. Slightly less crowded, slightly warmer. Nice stroll to Grand Trianon & back.
A very busy, rather warm (middle of heatwave) Palace of Versailles. Quite beautiful & very interesting all the same.
Pizza, pasta & the obligatory summer bucket of Hoegaarden. What's not to love? Cheers!
Teenage visitor suggests we go see some big towery thing. Oh come on then... if we must!
Down by the Seine. Plenty of trendy looking bars. Must be where cool kids hang after dark. Let's move swiftly on!
Arrive in Paris. Go directly to chinatown. Find restaurant in rather dodgy concourse below high-rise block. Enjoy!
Great to be back on the MTB! Almost 4 years since I last touched those bikes & they ride like new! Incredible!

Another perfect day on the slopes. Lucky at least one of us changed something in their outfit!
Bonjour from the Grand Tourmalet. Awesome day on the piste. Imagine when the other half of the resort is open!

Short walk near Lac de Payolle. Well, it' can't be glorious sunshine all the time & besides, I quite like the mist
Beautiful day for a recovery ride in the vallée d'Aure. Full on 'recovery' too, my heart rate average was 88bpm
