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.

lunch

Though not strictly speaking in Biarritz, it's worth a drive down the coastline to the picture perfect Saint Jean de Luz, if not for the exquisite beaches and south of France charm then for the sandwiches rustled up daily at Bocata. Come early morning, baguette after baguette are stuffed with cheese and charcuterie from Boucherie des Familles. Though, it's at lunchtime that the boulangerie classics are spiced up and revamped with the likes of fresh white tune, soy-soaked aubergine and a chicken teriyaki.
