About Biarritz
Biarritz combines Belle Époque elegance — grand seafront villas built for 19th-century aristocracy — with genuinely world-class Atlantic surf breaks that made it France's original surf town in the 1950s. Its position in French Basque Country also brings a distinct culinary and cultural identity, blending French refinement with Basque tradition.
