Biarritz - Revisited

7-10 November 2007

We posted a long blog on Biarritz last March. But with different weather this autumn we thought a couple of other pictures were merited. From last year’s post you will remember the little old port with waves breaking right over the breakwaters and roiling the small harbour with whirlpools. The port on a quiet day is quite a contrast.

We still love the dramatic location of this villa. What looks like a bridge leading to the villa, actually leads to the “Virgin’s Rock” in the background –so named because of the statue on top, not because of any medieval “droits de seigneur”.

Biarritz has to be one of the jewels of France – a city with the amenities of one but without the crowding, noise and mass of many cities – and a seaside location.
