Valentine Surprise - Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Winter on the beach in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Twenty-four hours. Doesn't sound much, but sometimes that's all you need to do a romantic getaway. My husband had planned this as a surprise, so I was only told to pack a dress and a swimsuit….

I won't give you much details, nor photos, but if I say hammam, massage with hot stones, champagne and strawberries and a sumptuous dinner, I guess you get the picture. And today we enjoyed the cold sun in Saint Jean de Luz, had oysters and bought some Adam macarons, a local specialty based on almonds.

It's only 24 hours later, but I feel like I went away for a week! I wish you a Valentine's Day with the ones you care the most for!

Typical basque dancing. Red and black are the colours of Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Typical basque house

Typical street in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Typical brasserie. In this case, Brouillarta on the beach in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. They have marvellous oysters.

On thing I love about France is how beautifully they pack cookies....

... like the famous macarons from Adam. Not sure they are the best, but they are Very Very Good.

  1. The macaron packaging looks vintage and you'll be surprised with the delectable cookie inside. Every time I'll think of this, can't help but crave. Just like right now, I want to eat these macarons from Adam.

    You have the sweetest husband, Eva. I wish you another grand and unforgettable Valentine this year.

  3. Thank you Sylvain! I do have the best husband I could ever have wished for! This year he is away for Valentine's day, but I hope we'll make up for it another day!
