Biarritz

Biarritz is like the French counterpart of Spanish San Sebastian.  It is an extravagant coastal town with luxurious hotels and fine restaurants.  We visited Biarritz for a short time with a Spanish Couch-host.  

Our host lived on the Spanish-French border, and decided to accompany us as we continued our north trip from her house.  We toured through the Basque country stopping in a few small villages, and finally stopping in Biarritz. 
Like San Sebastian this city is beautiful but really only a fun place to stay an extended period if you have money.  Obviously, we did not stay long.
