Discover the charm of Southwestern France with a complete walking tour in Biarritz, the jewel of Aquitaine that for centuries has been a destination of luxury, royalty, and artists. This Biarritz guided tour begins at the majestic Biarritz Casino, a symbol of the city and a focal point of its social life. Along the route, you will learn how Biarritz evolved from a small whaling village into the preferred retreat of empresses and designers such as Coco Chanel, who opened one of her first boutiques here.

You will admire the impressive Hotel du Palais from the outside, the former residence of Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, and delve into the history of the Church of Saint Eugenie, closely linked to the city’s imperial legacy. The experience concludes at the famous Rock of the Virgin (Rocher de la Vierge), a natural viewpoint offering one of the most spectacular panoramas of the French Basque Coast.

This tour is conducted in a bilingual format (Spanish and English) and is led by local experts who share legends, anecdotes, and curiosities, allowing you to experience firsthand the cultural, historical, and scenic essence of this elegant city.
