Biarritz
A late 19th-century villa in a quiet residential area, run with the warmth of a bed-and-breakfast.
Biarritz became fashionable when Empress Eugénie built a summer palace here in the 1850s, and it later became the birthplace of European surfing. Today it combines grand villas and casinos with a relaxed surf culture, lively food markets and pintxo bars influenced by nearby Spain.
Hotels near the Grande Plage and the Rocher de la Vierge are close to the sea and the center, while the leafy Parc d'Hiver and residential streets offer calm villas.
San Sebastián is less than an hour away, and the Basque villages of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Espelette and Ainhoa are easy outings. The surf is best in autumn; summer is busy with French families.
