Biarritz: Jewel on West Coast France Video

Biarritz is a city which lies on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast, in the Aquitaine region of south-western France. It is a luxurious seaside town and is popular with tourists and surfers.

When you find yourself in downtown Biarritz, you get the impression of a much larger city. Believe it or not, it has a permanent population of less than 30,000, but when you count the adjacent towns of Anglet and Bayonne it is closer to 120,000.

Biarritz has become a Mecca for surfers, owing to its magnificent waves, drawing many thousands of people from all around the world to sample its waters, and the nightlife that goes with it. The surfing company Quicksilver has its worldwide base in Biarritz and holds an annual surf event here.
