France Transfer

Taxi from Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport to Biarritz.

Biarritz, located on the stunning Basque Coast, became one of Europe’s most fashionable seaside resorts thanks to Empress Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III. Originally born Countess of Montijo, she fell in love with this coastal town, transforming it into a prestigious destination for European aristocracy.

A private shuttle taxi from Bordeaux Airport to Biarritz will take you comfortably and efficiently to your hotel or residence.

The most famous 5-star hotel in Biarritz, the iconic Hôtel du Palais, was originally built as the summer residence of Empress Eugénie and still reflects imperial elegance today.

At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, Biarritz became a favorite destination for European aristocracy, including many British visitors who helped shape its seaside culture. It was also very popular among Russian nobility, bourgeoisie, and intellectuals. Writers, artists, and prominent figures spent their summers here, including Anton Chekhov, who wrote in his diary on September 8, 1897:
“Every Russian in Biarritz complains that there are too many Russians here.”

Among other notable visitors were Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill, and Otto von Bismarck, who, according to local accounts, nearly drowned while swimming in the powerful Atlantic waves.

Biarritz has also hosted important international events, including the G7 summit in 2019, reinforcing its global prestige.

Today, Biarritz combines history, surf culture, luxury lifestyle, and a unique Basque identity, making it one of the most attractive destinations on the Atlantic coast.

Taxi service provided by France-Transfer will take you from Bordeaux to Biarritz in approximately 2 hours, ensuring comfort, reliability, and premium service.
