This world-renowned seaside city is known for its upper-class and luxurious atmosphere. Empress Eugénie is famously said to have spent many of her summers here and considered it one of her favorite holiday destinations.
In fact, it is because of this Empress that Biarritz went from a small fishing village to the fashionable ocean city it is today. This royal history and influence can be seen in the names of the streets, such as Avenue de la Reine Victoria.
The city boasts splendid 19th-century seaside mansions with oriel windows and turrets. It is also home to stunning villas and beautiful, pristine beaches that contribute to its status as a popular vacation destination.
