Biarritz also boats its very own culture, the culture of the Basque Country, shared between France and Spain, that has developed into various aspects in our modern times. This includes sport for instance, the region has its very own local sport known as the Basque Pelota, it is played with a very hard ball and either a racket or a basket to catch the ball. Biarritz is also famous for its rugby club, crowned champion of France five times and several times a finalist in the European championship. However, the most famous part of Biarritz’s sports life is, of course, surfing. The city is known as the French capital of surf where thousands of surfers come every year from different countries to enjoy the unique oceanside and its famous waves.

Known as the French surf capital, Biarritz also boasts a rich and fascinating history. Once a humble whaling port, the town was transformed in the 19th century when Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, made it her favorite seaside retreat. Her visits quickly turned Biarritz into a fashionable destination, attracting the imperial court and the European elite. From a quiet coastal village, Biarritz grew into a vibrant center of tourism, culture, and diplomacy.

Today, the city’s imperial heritage still shines through its architecture – some Haussmann-style buildings lend Biarritz a unique elegance.
