Destination Biarritz Tourist Offices in Biarritz

A former fishing port and a flagship destination forever marked by the passage of Empress Eugenie de Montijo and her husband Napoleon as well as other greats of this world, Biarritz seduces first of all by its architectural richness and the beauty of its landscapes. The city offers a very great diversity of beaches over 6 kilometers: cliffs, rocks, sand, coves, expanses that run to the horizon of the mountains at low tide.

The capital of thalassotherapy, appreciated for decades for its mild climate and the benefits of sea water, Biarritz is also world-renowned for golf (the only golf destination contract in France) and surfing.

This discipline, imported in 1957 by the American Peter Viertel, husband of the actress Deborah Kerr, celebrated its 60th anniversary in Europe in 2017.

For over half a century, Biarritz has established itself as a must-see destination for board sports and has received the Surfing Town label – 3 stars (out of 3) – awarded by the French Surfing Federation.
