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.
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.
