Biarritz, France
Biarritz is one of France's most popular resorts, located on the country's border with Spain. Situated on the Atlantic coast opposite the Bay of Biscay, it is extremely popular with surfers and tourists.
One of the most favorable factors that successfully develop tourism in Biarritz is the Atlantic climate, and alongside it sit the healing properties of the sea water, which make this beautiful place Biarritz one of the modern tourist hits.
Biarritz is the headquarters of Europe's annual surfing festival held in July and is therefore called "the surfer's paradise".
The luxury city of Biarritz is becoming one of the most successful tourist destinations in France. It is recorded in the history of France that in 1854, Empress Eugenie built a summer palace in Biarritz, whose guests became the European royal families. Biarritz's prestigious status was thus assured. This dictated the architectural style in Biarritz and for this reason, the typical look of the Basque country is not to be found in this place, but a reflection of the taste of the aristocratic parliaments of Belle Époque. Art Deco villas coexist with pseudo-cottages and houses with romantic gables.
Of the architectural attractions, the Anglican Church stands out, housing a small museum of local history, where photographs of the famous aristocrats who visited Biarritz and contributed to its reputation are exhibited. In Biarritz one can play golf, watch the professional rugby team, go horse riding or enjoy the pleasure of tennis.
In Biarritz, the rocky promontory of the Grand Beach, the cliff of the Virgin - Rocher de la Vierge, as well as the small and sheltered Beach du Port Villeux and the open-air Beach de ca Côte de Basque enjoy exceptional fame.
