Biarritz is an elegant seaside town on southwestern France's Basque coast. Formerly a preferred resort of 19th-century royalty (most notably Empress Eugénie), it is now widely recognized as the surfing capital of Europe. It features rugged Atlantic cliffs, sandy beaches, and the iconic Rock of the Virgin (Rocher de la Vierge).
💡Why Visit?
Walk across the footbridge to the Rock of the Virgin for dramatic Atlantic ocean views and watch world-class surfers ride the waves at Côte des Basques.
