Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie built a seaside palace here in 1854, transforming a Basque fishing village into one of Europe's most fashionable resorts. About 33,200 people live in this Pyrenees-Atlantiques commune on the Atlantic coast near the Spanish border. The Hotel du Palais, built on the site of the imperial residence, still faces the Grande Plage.
The Rocher de la Vierge, a rocky outcrop connected to the shore by a metal footbridge attributed to Gustave Eiffel, is the town's most recognisable landmark. Since the 1950s Biarritz has become a surfing capital, and the Cite de l'Ocean documents the relationship between the town and the Atlantic.
The Basque heritage is visible in the architecture and pelota courts of the older quarters. The Musee de la Mer, housed in an Art Deco building on the cliffs, contains an aquarium and marine exhibits. The lighthouse on the Pointe Saint-Martin offers views from the Pyrenees to the Landes coast.
