Ready for summer 2025 ! |
Biarritz :small house close to the ocean and the center
For 2025 ,we would like to return to USA . We would like also Canada , United Kingdom , Sweden .... In fact, we are interested by all countries ! A long exchange (on month ) is possible . It's wonderful for a better knowledge of people and ways of life.
Biarritz is a famous seaside city in the Pays Basque .Many activities are possible :swimming , surfing , strolling along the sea, . The evening and nights are lively : restaurants , pubs ,free spectacles . Spain is near :25 kms :San Sebastian (1 hour )and Bilbao ( 2 hours by the motorway ) . You can enjoy the beautiful coastline (Bidart ; Saint Jean de Luz ..)and villages of Pays basque . the Pays basque is a wonderful and beautiful country .
The city is very alive with restaurants , cafés , beautifuls shops . People like be simply here to enjoy the weather , the light and the wiew . « J'ai pour moi les vents, les astres et la mer » : the motto of the town is "I have for me the winds , the stars ans the sea " and it says all about the life here .
.
Our house is small but very practical and well situated (60 m2). It is well equiped for cooking by example . A living room (with television and dvd player ) with a little kitchen (with oven, microwave , washing machine (but not dishing machine) , and a little bathroom with shower. There is WI _FI unlimited and we let in the house a computer .
Upstairs , an hall deserve 2 bedrooms : a parental bedroom (bed :140 cm) and a room for children with 2 beds , toilets and a dressing .
For the children , we have games , a Wii console , some DVD and books in english , games and playmobil .. . We have also 2 body boards and 2 scooters ? ( trottinettes )
We exchange also our main house in Perigord in the famous city of Sarlat . Our main house has a big garden with orchard (apple trees and peach trees),3 bedrooms . It's perfect for a family with children .There is a small river and plenty of beautiful villages close to the house .
il s'agit de notre résidence secondaire. C'est une petite maison de 60 m2 qui comprend au rez-de chaussée un séjour -cuisine et une salle d'eau . Le coin cuisine est équipé d'un four , four à micro -onde , plaques vitro céramique , lave -linge (Attention pas de lave -vaisselle).
A l'étage , une chambre parentale (lit 140) et une chambre avec 2 lits simples; des toilettes séparées, et un petit dressing . Il y a un tout petit balconnet mais on peut seulement y mettre une chaise . La maison convient bien pour 4 personnes .
Le grand intérêt est que l'on peut tout faire à pieds :il ya une navette gratuite qui passe devant la maison et sinon la grande plage du casino (au coeur de la ville )est à 10 mn à pieds , 15/20 mn à pieds pour la plage des Basques. Boulanger , épicerie , petit supermarché Carrefour ,médiathèque : tout est à 5 mn à pieds .

Biarritz has 6 km of beaches and is a famous summer holiday destination well known thanks to his historic past : the emperor Napoleon III and his wife Eugenie loved this small port and they built a palace now became a luxury hotel . Its beaches are characterized by fine sand . Surfing is a very popular activity in Biarritz, .The house is located at the corner of an street (photo) and an avenue ; It's near the city center. In summer , there are many cars but the house has doubleglazed windows . A free little autobus (named 'navette du centre ville') stops in front of the house every 15mn .
