Experience the luxury of the Belle Époque and the charm of the Roaring Twenties on this guided tour of Biarritz. Step back in time to the golden age of this seaside gem in the French Basque Country.

Activity Details

The guided tour of Biarritz begins at the entrance of the Casino Barrière, where participants will enjoy a panoramic view of the Atlantic.

Next, the tour will explore why Biarritz is considered one of the most exclusive coastal towns in Aquitaine, sharing anecdotes from the Belle Époque (1871-1914) and the “Roaring Twenties.”

At the Great Beach of Biarritz, popular with surfers, participants will walk along the promenade and learn about pirate-related episodes from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Participants will stop at the Hôtel du Palais to learn about the history of Eugénie de Montijo and Napoleon III, who promoted this palace-hotel.

Continuing towards the other end of the beach, the tour includes a view of the church of Saint Eugénie, dedicated to the emperor's wife.

Following the coastal path, the tour will pass by the Biarritz Aquarium before reaching the Rocher de la Vierge (Rock of the Virgin), accessible via a footbridge over the Atlantic. The tour concludes at this point after an hour and a half of walking.
