Biarritz

One of the most famous seaside resorts in the world, Biarritz was once a fishing village. Favoured by Empress Eugénie, the village near the Spanish border soon attracted her husband, Napoléon III, who truly put it on the map. Later, Queen Victoria showed up frequently, and her son, Edward VII, visited more than once.

In the 1930s the Prince of Wales (before he was, and then wasn't, Edward VIII) and the American divorcée he loved, Wallis Simpson, did much to make Biarritz more fashionable as they headed south with these instructions: "Chill the champagne, pack the pearls, and tune up the Bugatti." Biarritz became the pre-jet set's favourite sunning spot. Although those legendary days are long gone, the resort is still fashionable, but the unthinkable has happened: It now has surf shops, snack bars, and even some reasonably priced hotels.
