Biarritz
in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

The Basque country is a truly magical place, so it's no wonder that people have been flocking to Biarritz for years. Between the surfing swells and nose-dip dives along the coastline, revel in the Biarritz buzz. Here, a laid-back attitude rules the roost. If you have an extra day or two, zip down the coastline to the quaint whaling ports, fishing villages and charming town.
