Biarritz is a Jewel of the Basque Coast with a Touch of Chanel Glamour

Welcome to Biarritz, the luxurious seaside town on the French Basque coast, renowned for its stunning beaches, illustrious history, and a splash of haute couture glamour, thanks to the legendary Coco Chanel. Nestled on the Atlantic coast, Biarritz is not just a surfer's paradise but a historic symbol of sophistication and style.

Once a simple whaling settlement, Biarritz was transformed into a resort of royalty and aristocrats in the 19th century when Empress Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III, fell in love with this picturesque locale and built a palace on the beach. This palace, now the Hôtel du Palais, epitomizes the grandeur and elegance that drew European royalty and celebrities to its shores.

The city’s allure didn't fade with the ages; it evolved, blending its aristocratic charm with modern luxury. Coco Chanel, a name synonymous with fashion, contributed to this evolution by opening her first couture house here in the 1910s. Chanel's presence in Biarritz forever linked the city with high fashion, and her legacy continues to influence its cultural fabric today.

Biarritz is also a vital part of the Basque coast, with its unique culture, language, and culinary traditions. The town embodies a vibrant mix of French and Basque influences, evident in its architecture, local festivals, and gastronomy. From enjoying traditional Basque dishes to exploring the rugged coastline, Biarritz offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural richness.
