Those wild waters are always epic. Also I thought the Pyrenees don´t have so much green, cause they are in the south,
but I was wrong XD

The French side of the Pyrénées is very green (except perhaps in the Roussillon), however the Spanish side is less humide (except in western Navarra).
South Gascogne and French Basque country are the most rainy place of France to be fair

Only the upper part of Alsace, at the east of the Vosges, because all the rain mainly go to the western part of the Vosges.
And Alsace is a "cuvette" between the Vosges and the Schwarzwald, so rain can't go here as easily.
At the contrary Gascogne and Basque country are near the Ocean, and the rain are stopped by the Pyrénées, that's why it's the more humide place of France. Even the Alps are less humide, because the Mediterranea is less cold than the Ocean ^^
