    • In an atypical place steeped in history – the Anglican church of St Andrew's (1878) – the Biarritz Historical Museum is an associative museum full of charm and treasures where you can discover local history. To do this, you will cross different eras which made Biarritz what it is: Biarritz village of fishermen and farmers, Biarritz city of heart of Eugénie and Napoleon III, Biarritz and the Roaring Twenties or even Biarritz and the world.


      Driven by the sole concern of preserving and transmitting the heritage of their city, stubborn and passionate Biarrots have brought together a very rich and varied collection in this museum. Come and discover this unique collection of 4000 pieces, objects, works of art...


      Entering this Anglican church is like taking a fascinating journey into the history of Biarritz, that of a small whaling port which became a world-famous seaside resort.


      A half-hour video projection, retracing the main stages of the birth and development of the city, is also offered continuously.

      Audio guides in 4 languages: French, English, Spanish, Euskara


      Open Tuesday to Saturday: 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. / 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (July-August: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. / 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.)

      Closed on Sundays, Mondays and public holidays.

    You can shop, people gaze or watch the waves. A little bit of background of Biarritz deepens the appreciation of the city. The Museum, in film and displays covers much of recent history including...

  • "The adventures of Phillyjanie"

    3 / 5 Reviews posted by Bwatsweeds (Hertfordshire) on 22/08/2019

    It was something like EUR10 for two people to visit a museum with literally one room. It had some cool stuff (posters, British trivia, a few signs in British) but nothing like the pots of treasure...
