This privately guided shore excursion features
Biarritz, one of the most popular resort towns
in the area. Dubbed the “Jewel of the Coast,”
Biarritz has transformed itself over the centuries,
from a tiny fishing village to an early 20th-century
aristocratic resort whose character remains
today. Visitors flock here for the glamorous
beaches and waterfront casinos, but the town
offers a whole lot more. You will get a tour
of the city’s landmarks, which capture the
architectural metamorphosis at the turn of
the 20th century. You can visit the blue-domed
Russian Orthodox Church, constructed in the
19th century for visiting Russian aristocrats,
or the 12th century St. Martin's Church. There
are also some interesting museums you can opt
to tour, such as the Museum of Chocolate or
the Museum of the Sea, which has 24 aquariums
containing sharks and seals. In the afternoon,
you will get an opportunity to experience the
rich Basque culture of the region, by touring
some beautiful Basque villages.
