Biarritz, located on the stunning Basque Coast, became a fashionable resort in the 19th century thanks to Empress Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III, who turned this small fishing village into a prestigious destination for European aristocracy. Over time, Biarritz attracted many notable figures, including Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill, and the famous Russian writer Anton Chekhov, who once humorously noted the large presence of Russians in the town. Even Otto von Bismarck is said to have nearly drowned in the powerful Atlantic waves during his visit.
Today, Biarritz blends imperial history, refined architecture, surf culture, and a vibrant coastal lifestyle, making it one of the most unique destinations in France.
