Just half an hour from the Spanish border, right down in the middle of Basque
country in France lies Bayonne. It's main claim in
the food world is being the home of the Bayonne Ham.
Since 1942, the town celebrates with a Ham Festival during Holy week (13-15 April 2006). Local farmers gather along the River Nive and sell their air-dried hams. Now I have never been to the town - but I know a man you has. He (being John of French Duck) describes the area as a mix of "strange and wonderful contrasts". You have the Basque influence on architecture, food and on the language too. Combining the scenery of the mountains with a food fair sounds just the sort of break I need right now.
