Holiday Weekend in Biarritz

Biarritz is buzzing with people on the weekend. But there is plenty of room for everyone as the beach and promenade stretch out for a few miles.

Some areas are quite busy whereas this corner looked abandoned.

La Grande Plage in Biarritz

What had looked like a bunch of seals at first glance turned out to be a group of surfers. There are plenty of schools down there by the beach.

The Grande Plage is lined with beautiful hotels and villas.

Heading down to the Port Vieux (Old Port)

Most tourists are young couples and families with older children. All our walks are up and down the hill (good for your legs) and this explains as to why there are neither strollers nor toddlers to be seen anywhere.

There is a lot of walking involved when visiting this coastal town. A good parking spot is hard to come by.

Sunday Morning in Biarritz

Biarritz, a French vacation resort on the Atlantic coast, is a busy little town. There are so many people out and about to do their shopping on Sunday morning. Germany, in comparison, looks like a ghost town around this time of day.

In France, all centre ville shops and markets are open until 13:00. I had almost forgotten how much fun shopping in France can be, in every sense of the way.

At the market in Biarritz

Mozzarella wrap with greens and dried tomatoes

Fruits confits – wonderful display at the marché

Dried peppers – a local specialty

Most shopping is done on foot and beware of parking difficulties when coming to Biarritz.

Hard to find a spot and when you do, use your feet around town.
