Biarritz
Biarritz is a sophisticated coastal town in French Basque Country, which first became popular with the aristocracy and then with wealthy British tourists in the mid-19th century. Empress Eugenie (the wife of Napoleon III) fell in love with this part of the Basque country and built a palace on the beach at what is now the world class Hotel de Paris. Today, Biarritz draws a cosmopolitan crowd from all over the world. The beaches, casinos, golf courses and surfing spots have made it a haven for those in need of some respite, while its excellent facilities ensure its place as a business travel centre.
