Discover the Timeless Elegance of Biarritz & Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Experience the charm of Biarritz, one of France’s most fashionable seaside resorts, often referred to as the “Queen of Resorts and the Resort of Kings.” This guided tour takes you through its storied past and stunning coastline, beginning with a visit to the Biarritz Lighthouse, where breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean await.
Continue to the Grande Plage, the city’s main beach and a world-famous surfing destination. Admire the grand Hôtel du Palais, originally built in 1855 as a summer retreat for Empress Eugénie, its architecture reflecting the opulence of a bygone era.
Next, explore the charming fishing port, a quaint enclave nestled among the rocks, before visiting the iconic Rock of the Virgin, accessible via a bridge designed by Gustave Eiffel. Conclude your Biarritz visit at the ancient whaling port, a site steeped in maritime history and colorful local anecdotes.
Reboard your coach for a scenic drive through the picturesque Basque villages of Bidart and Guéthary, where you’ll witness traditional pelota matches on the local fronton courts.
Arriving in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, enjoy a leisurely walking tour through the historic town before concluding at the tender pier.
