Biarritz

Only if you like surfing. If not, don’t bother. If you do, it’s superb.

Wrong season. Wrong budget. My error.

This city is worth a visit.

I lived with a french family in Biarritz for 3 weeks in the summer and attended french classes there as well. It was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. The town is spectacular during the day, the beaches are amazing and at night, it gets even better. The people are so sweet too, it’s very laid-back and fun. The surf is great, the beaches are great, and the bars and clubs are so much fun. The grande plage day and night is filled with great people from all over the world and Biarritz is my absolute favorite place. I’d love to go back and if I could live there I would, I’d never get sick of it.

Surf capital of France. High end hotels – Sofitel and the castle (you cannot miss it) are awesome and worth the $$.
