Biarritz and the Basque country:
Biarritz, known as the 'California of Europe' by the surfers, is located on the Atlantic Ocean, ca. 200 km south of Bordeaux and 40km north of the Spanish border. Benefiting from a vigorating climate, Biarritz attracts a wide range of population keen on thalassothérapie (spa treatment), cultural visit, water sports activities, rugby, golf, walks (great walks in the Pyrénées), etc. The region is renowned for its welcoming population, its strong traditions, its quality of life and art-de-vivre (good food and wine). Restaurants offer great value for money if you like foie gras, duck, cepes, or the traditional food from the south west of France.
Originally a small whale-fishing village, Biarritz developed and became famous in the 19th century thanks to Emperor Napoleon III and his Spanish wife Eugenie. Since then, Biarritz developed with style, and represents the stylish and perfect destination for family holidays.
