discovering France...Oh! the places we've gone!

Before arriving in France, Beth and I had notions of grand tours of Europe, Italy, Greece maybe even forays into Northern Africa. We got here and came to the realization that one year was barely enough time to delve into southwest France. As it turns out we still have some places left to see. Maybe next time.
Our only trip outside of France turned out to be just across the border in San Sebastien, Spain. We relied heavily on the recommendations of the locals. Many of these places we had never heard of before.
Here are some photographic touchstones of some of the places we visited:
