Being both natural and sophisticated at the same time, Biarritz is one of the most prestigious seaside resorts of the French Atlantic coast.

Between the mountains and the ocean waves, it offers exceptional natural surroundings with many attractions: palaces, luxurious hotels, golf courses, the Casino, thalassotherapy spas, rich gastronomy, and the sweetness of its air …

From its height of 73 metres, the Lighthouse proudly dominates the horizon. From its esplanade, an exceptional panorama is presented: the Basta and Virgin Rocks, the beaches of fine sand, the fishermen’s port, tamarisks and hydrangeas, and the coast of the Landes and the Pyrénées.

The Queen of beaches and the beach of kings
This small and originally peaceful fishermen’s village became one of the most highly prized seaside destinations under the influence of Napoléon III and the empress Eugénie.

Picturesque and colourful, the Port des Pêcheurs with its "crampottes" (old traditional fishermen’s cottages) houses some excellent seafood restaurants and famous Basque “tapas” bars.
