Biarritz :small house close to the ocean and the center
We love the United States and in previous years we enjoyed exploring the country. Now, we'd like to discover more of Europe. We adored Vienna last year, and for 2026, we'd like to explore the Austrian countryside. In fact, all of Northern and Eastern Europe interests us. We enjoy hiking and discovering the culture and history of the regions we travel through.
Biarritz is a famous seaside city in the Pays Basque .Many activities are possible :swimming , surfing , strolling along the sea, Spain is very close and it's easy to get there by train (or the highway ) . :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 . Bordeaux is also a magnificent city, 2 hours away by train or road.

About the neighborhood
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 . It served the beach of Casino and all the center . Il is very comfortable with children !We prefered walk to the center : 10 mn : the street go down the beach .
the retail shops (bakery , little supermarket ) are five minutes by walking . The public Library is 5 mn by walk .

We are 58 years old. We used to travel with our children, but now they have their own lives; so we will travel as a couple or with just one of our sons. We also have a cat, but during the holidays he will be looked after by our children. We enjoy discovering the landscapes, culture, and history of the places we visit. I really appreciated the month-long exchanges because they offer a truly immersive experience. But two weeks would also suit us very well.
