Biarritz (Nouvelle Aquitaine)

At the crossroads of the Landes, the Pyrenees and Spain, the French Basque Country is a favorite destination for travelers from the ends of the earth. With its unobstructed view of the Atlantic coastline, this part of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region offers a breathtaking backdrop to towns rich in history.

Between modernity and tradition, the Basque coast attracts visitors from all over the world, including some very special guests. Such is the case of Biarritz, one of the most attractive towns in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region, which welcomed Queen Victoria, Victor Hugo and Coco Chanel. In the very heart of the Bay of Biscay, Saint-Jean-de-Luz stands out more for its elegance and discretion. Both towns remain deeply imbued with the Basque art of living.

Biarritz was originally a small fishing village. Its first boom came with the passage of the imperial couple Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie. The town is dotted with monuments, like so many fragments of history that can be reconstructed on a stroll. Over time, the emergence of seaside resorts, villas and palaces attracted a distinguished clientele, including some of Europe's greatest kings. Biarritz quickly became one of France's most popular destinations.

The Basque coast's gentle way of life is further enhanced by the refinement of its gastronomy, the wealth of its sporting activities and the tranquillity of its fine sandy beaches. Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, with their historic architecture and colorful alleyways, promise a unique journey to the heart of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

The Biarritz region and its real estate market

The Nouvelle-Aquitaine region is home to some of France's most popular holiday resorts. In both Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, most of the prestigious real estate on offer is second homes. Investors are particularly interested in seaside apartments, for seasonal rentals or family vacation spots.

The Vieux-Port tops the list of Biarritz's most attractive neighborhoods. The lively and dynamic Espagne-Beaurivage district is made up of typical fishermen's houses. The Aguiléra district is strategically located on the outskirts of the city center, dotted with green spaces and new housing. Here, the dynamism of Biarritz differs from the tranquility of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
