About Biarritz

Biarritz is the most glamorous and most storied resort on the French Basque coast — a cliff-top Atlantic town whose extraordinary position between the ocean and the Pyrenees, its Belle Époque and Art Deco architecture, and its status as the favourite resort of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie (who built the Villa Eugénie, now the Hôtel du Palais, on the cliff above the Grande Plage in 1854) made it the most fashionable destination in Europe for the second half of the 19th century. Biarritz introduced surfing to Europe — American surfers brought the sport here in 1957, and the city has been the surfing capital of Europe ever since, with a surfing culture and infrastructure (surf schools, surf shops, the Cité de l'Océan museum) unlike anywhere else on the continent.

Biarritz's combination of surf culture, Belle Époque grandeur and Basque identity — the Basque Country (Pays Basque) straddles the French-Spanish border here, with the Basque language, cuisine (pintxos, txakoli wine, Espelette pepper), architecture (the characteristic red-and-white colombages of the Labourd style) and cultural traditions giving the region a character entirely distinct from the rest of France — makes it one of the most richly layered coastal destinations in southwest Europe. The Grande Plage beneath the Hôtel du Palais, the Rocher de la Vierge (the spectacular sea stack connected to the cliff by a footbridge, with views to the Spanish coast), the covered market (Les Halles) and the Musée de la Mer (with its aquarium and displays of Atlantic oceanography) are the essential Biarritz experiences.

Important Transfer Information

Surfing Capital of Europe: Biarritz has been the surfing capital of Europe since 1957, when American filmmaker Peter Viertel surfed the Atlantic waves at the Grande Plage — the first European surfing. The city's surf schools, the annual Biarritz Surf Festival (July), the Cité de l'Océan museum and the iconic surf breaks of the Côte des Basques (the classic longboarding wave below the cliff) make Biarritz the defining European surf destination. The surfing culture permeates the entire town from its cafés and restaurants to its shops.

Hôtel du Palais and Belle Époque Heritage: The Hôtel du Palais — Napoleon III's Villa Eugénie, converted to a grand hotel — occupies the most dramatic position in Biarritz, on the cliff above the Grande Plage with views of the Pyrenees to the southeast on clear days. The hotel's Belle Époque interiors and its restaurant are open to non-guests for lunch and dinner. The city's wider Belle Époque and Art Deco architectural heritage — the Casino Municipal, the Église Saint-Martin and the Villa Belza — rewards pedestrian exploration.

A63 Motorway Connection: The transfer from Bordeaux Airport to Biarritz runs via the A63 motorway south along the Landes coast — a fast and direct route of approximately 119 minutes. The journey passes the edge of the Landes forest and approaches the Basque Pyrenees.
