We have a fancy-schmancy gourmet lunch at the Hotel du Palais on the beach in Biarritz. It was originally the summer palace built for Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, and was a big part of establishing Biarritz as a resort for royalty. (The hotel is actually shaped like an “E” for Eugénie.)  There’s some birthday cake and a candle for Anne Naylor. After the lunch we have some free time in Biarritz, but rain prevents me from getting more shots. There’s a large casino, beaches, pools, posh restaurants…basically the kind of place where you’d expect to find James Bond.
