The Biarritz City Guides cover what visitors want to know: where to eat pintxos and harbour fish without paying seafront prices, when to walk out to the Rocher de la Vierge, which beaches suit children and which suit surfers, and how to reach Bayonne, Saint-Jean-de-Luz and San Sebastián by train. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Chez Albert
Port des Pêcheurs
A terrace right above the tiny fishermen’s harbour, serving grilled sardines, sea bream, oysters and paella. The town’s reference for seafood and often full, so book ahead. From the food guide.
Rocher de la Vierge
Esplanade du Rocher de la Vierge
Cross the short iron footbridge to the statue on its rock, the emblem of Biarritz. Come just before sunset, while the surfers are still in the water. From the things to do guide.
Chocolat Cazenave
Rue du Port Neuf, Bayonne
A chocolate house open since 1854 whose salon pours thick hot chocolate with toast, in a town that has made chocolate since the 1600s. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Biarritz
Day one: have breakfast at the covered market, walk the Plateau de l’Atalaye to the Rocher de la Vierge, climb the lighthouse in the afternoon and end at the Côte des Basques for sunset before pintxos near Les Halles. Day two: take the train to Bayonne for the cathedral, the Basque museum and a hot chocolate, or ride further along the coast to Saint-Jean-de-Luz or San Sebastián. On a rainy or slow day, mix the Aquarium, the Cité de l’Océan and the Musée Historique with a long lunch and an evening in a wine bar.
