GETAWAYS & DISCOVERIES

An emblematic place in Biarritz and for its history with surfing since it is here that the sport appeared for the first time in France and even in Europe.

If the place is still as popular with surfers, experienced or novices thanks to the schools, the Basque coast is also a magical "spot" to watch the sunsets.

The Rock of the Virgin is inseparable from the image of Biarritz. Over the decades, it has become a place for locals and visitors to stroll, regardless of the season. It owes its name to the statue that is erected at its top.

Built in 1885 on the site of the former tennis court, Les Halles is an essential meeting point in Biarritz with its many food shops and restaurants.

They are open every day from 07:30 to 14:00.

Located opposite the Rocher de la Vierge, this superb Art Deco building has been home to the Biarritz Aquarium (formerly the Museum of the Sea) since 1933. In addition to offering a space retracing the local maritime history, you can discover many species such as sharks, rays, turtles and seals.

The Aquarium also has a care center for animals injured or weakened during the winter.
