Situated in the south-west of France on the Atlantic coast, Biarritz is a luxurious seaside resort popular with both tourists and surfers. Biarritz boasts some of the best beaches in Europe including the classic - Le Grand Plage and the most fashionable - Miramar Beach. The town is also a stop on the world surfing tour. Traditionally a whaling and fishing port, Biarritz transformed itself into a fashionable resort in the 18th Century when Comtesse de Montijo of Spain spent two lazy holidays there. Kings and queens and stars of the silver screen followed suit and Biarritz transformed itself into the fashionable, stylish destination that it is today. More relaxed and discreet than its Côte d’Azur equivalents, Biarritz combines magnificent beaches, breath-taking scenery with a passion for golf and rugby.
