Walking tour in Biarritz

Discover the charm of southwest France with a complete Walking Biarritz walking tour, the jewel of Aquitaine that for centuries has been a destination for luxury, royalty, and artists. This guided visit through Biarritz begins at the majestic Casino, a symbol of the city and a hub of its social life. Along the route you will learn how Biarritz evolved from a small whaling village into the favorite retreat of empresses and designers such as Coco Chanel, who opened one of her first boutiques here.

You will admire the imposing Hôtel du Palais from the outside, the former residence of Empress Eugenia, wife of Napoleon III, and delve into the history of the Church of Saint Eugenia, intimately linked to the imperial legacy. The experience continues with the city's unique relationship with the Atlantic Ocean at the Museum of the Sea and culminates at the famous Rock of the Virgin (Rocher de la Vierge), a natural lookout offering one of the most spectacular panoramas on the Basque French coast.

This Biarritz walking tour is offered in a bilingual format in Spanish and English and is led by expert local guides who share legends, anecdotes, and curiosities so you can experience first hand the cultural, historical, and scenic essence of this elegant Atlantic city.
