Biarritz is a large town in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques that lies on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast, southwestern France. Today, Biarritz is one of the most famous seaside resorts on Earth.
Today, Biarritz has much more than an aristocratic environment to offer. It’s a vibrant cosmopolitan town with sandy beaches and azure waters, magnificent golf courses for the lovers of this sport, and the best waves for surfers that annualy come from places so distant as Hawaii, California, and Australia. Actually, it is said that surfing was born here, so every year there’s a great festival to celebrate this birth. Apart from surfers, you’ll find several elegant shosp, restaurants, and an active nightlife.
Biarritz was once a fishing village that enchanted Empresss Eugenie, Napoleon’s wife, for its blue waters and closeness to the Spanish border. Throughout centuries Biarritz was the favorite spot of the royal people. Now, it’s the chosen spot of surfers, who come in huge numbers to defy Biarritz’ challenging waves. A lot has changed since those old times, yet Biarritz is still a fashionable place with a Basque atmosphere.
