Apartments in Biarritz - Surfer Paradise on the Atlantic Ocean
In the extreme southwest of France, a very special city awaits you with the spa and seaside resort of Biarritz. Politically part of the Départment Pyrénées-Atlantiques and the Aquitaine region, Biarritz, with almost 30,000 inhabitants, is definitely still one of the small towns, but radiates a lot of sophisticated charm. Only about 35 kilometres from Spain, Biarritz is located in the French Basque Country.
has some very interesting architectural and natural highlights to offer. Directly at the Atlantic Ocean, at the Côte des Basques, the climate is mainly oceanic and is characterized by hot and dry summers as well as comparatively mild winters. All year round you can spend a great holiday here in one of many holiday houses or apartments according to your individual requirements.
The history of Biarritz and a very special holiday home
The history of the town goes back to the beginning of the 12th century. First mentioned as Bearriz in 1170, the Basques living here lived from whaling for a long time. In the adjacent Bay of Biscay there were numerous whales until the 18th century, but they were completely wiped out by the excessive fishing of fishermen, which posed great problems for the whaling sites on the coast. A new source of income was promised by the visitors, who were initially sent here by doctors because of the beneficial effects of the Atlantic Ocean. But the beauty of the coast spread quickly and so the number of visitors grew continuously.
But Biarritz only became famous throughout Europe when Empress Eugenie fell in love with the dreamy fishing village and her husband, Napoleon III, built a truly sophisticated holiday home directly on the beach. Today, the former Villa Eugénie, in all its splendour, as the Hôtel du Palais with 124 rooms and 30 suites, is one of the best hotels on the French Atlantic coast and is home to world stars such as Coco Chanel, Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra. But also vacation rentals and apartments in Biarritz are in no way inferior to the pompous palace and let you immerse yourself in the special atmosphere of the city.
Before Napoléon III and his wife Empress Eugénie came to Biarritz, it was only an insignificant fishing village.
5 Travel tips and leisure activities for Biarritz
The coast of Biarritz, known as the Côte des Basques, with its long beaches, steep cliffs and picturesque coves, is certainly one of the most beautiful regions France has to offer. To the right of the bay of Biarritz one has a fantastic view from the Phare de Biarritz - the lighthouse of the city erected on a steep rock cliff rising into the sea. On the left side you can see the statue of a virgin, a great sculpture. Positioned on a rock in the sea that can only be reached by a bridge, the statue also offers a breathtaking view. A visit to the statue is highly recommended, especially when the waves are high, as the waves break spectacularly into the rocks - but beware, you should not be afraid of getting a little wet.
2.Less wet, but still worth seeing, is the Musée de la Mer de Biarritz not far from the statue. For a small fee, various sea creatures are shown here in numerous tanks and aquariums.
3.Biarritz is a must especially for active holidaymakers and water sports enthusiasts. The constant surf with sometimes considerably high waves creates a true paradise for surfers, windsurfers, kitesurfers and everyone who wants to become one. Several equipment rental companies directly on the beach offer everyone the opportunity to throw themselves into the waves on a surfboard for little money. Courses are also offered because it is by no means as easy as it looks.
4.The area is also popular with cyclists and hikers, because the path along the coast is really breathtaking. For relaxed rest and relaxation, great restaurants and cafes with hearty, regional and local cuisine are available all along the way. Whatever sporting activity you would like to pursue, your holiday apartment offers you peace and relaxation in a cosy atmosphere.
5.The many inexpensive holiday apartments in Biarritz, which are particularly popular with families, also offer ideal starting points for day trips to the entire Basque Country. Thus, one is approximately in half an hour by car in Spain, where one should not miss San Sebastian.
