Biarritz, a coastal
town, began as a resort in the 1800’s for Napoleon III and his wife.

well known for its world-class surfing and beautiful beaches. Long sandy beaches offer a wide range of water sport activities
year round. In addition to beautiful Mediterranean beaches, Biarritz offers medieval villages, vineyards, and modern tourist

Just a hop skip and
a jump away from the Pyrenees Mountains, those who enjoy outdoor activities while visiting Biarritz can go skiing and hiking.

of Spain.
