Biarritz, luxury town on the coast of France

Biarritz is a Basque town located in the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast in the South-Western part of France. It is primarily a luxury coastal city and a popular tourist destination for surfers and other tourists. Biarritz is located in the Aquitaine region adjacent to Ballonnom Anglet and 35 kilometres from the border with Spain, in the French Basque Country. I suggest you to make a small excursion into the history of this city to see its attractions and beautiful beaches.





Biarritz is one of those places that gets its development thanks to the sea and its resources. It is safe to say that the city consumed the wealth of the sea from the twelfth century. Biarritz is a Basque name, with the local suffix-ITC. Before this the city was called BARRISOL, Beregsom, and only in 1249 it received its present name.





Biarritz has long benefited from its location by the sea, being a huge city since the twelfth century. The doctors advised her to rest here, claiming that the ocean in Biarritz has therapeutic properties and is inspired by the patients have made the pilgrimage to the beach for alleged cures for their disease. When we talk about marine resources, it should be noted that Biarritz has also decided to take advantage of the healing properties of sea water. To this day considerable revenue to the local budget come from tourists coming here for recreation. According to their statements — even the air in Biarritz special, not like in other places of the coast. If this is true, or self-hypnosis, it is difficult to judge not having been there yourself.





In addition to the medicinal properties of the local climate, as advertised for decades, Biarritz slowly began to turn to other types of tourism services. Of course, the basic proposal was aimed primarily at those who were planning to come here for rest and relaxation.





A new era in the life of the city began in 1854 when the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III built a castle on the beach, which is now known as Hotel Du Palais. Frequent visitors here were members of the British Royal family, including Queen Victoria, Edward VII and Alfonso XII.





Biarritz is considered primarily a tourist town with a very interesting and unusual history. It is a place where the tourist can easily take a look at all the sights, immerse yourself in historical facts that influenced the development and future direction of the city. Everything here is open and presented, like on the palm.
