Excursions in Biarritz

Bonjour, fellow adventurers! Are you ready to embark on a journey through the jewel of the Basque Coast? Welcome to Biarritz, where the Atlantic meets the Pyrenees, and where Foxiepass is your ticket to an unforgettable experience. We're not just another tour company; we're your local friends, eager to show you the hidden gems and iconic spots that make Biarritz a must-visit destination.

Ride the Waves at Grande Plage

First stop: Grande Plage, the beating heart of Biarritz. This isn't just any beach; it's where surfing first made waves in Europe back in the 1950s. Picture yourself strolling along the golden sand, watching surfers dance with the ocean. Don't worry if you've never touched a surfboard – our guides can hook you up with local instructors who'll have you hanging ten in no time. And if surfing's not your thing? Grab a spot on the sand and soak up the sun like a true Biarrot (that's what locals call themselves, by the way).

Step Back in Time at the Hôtel du Palais

Next up, we'll whisk you away to the Hôtel du Palais. This isn't just a fancy hotel; it's a living piece of history. Built in 1855 as a summer villa for Empress Eugénie (Napoleon III's wife), it's seen more drama than a telenovela. Our guide, Marie, loves to dish out the juicy gossip about the royals and celebs who've stayed here. Trust me, her stories will have you giggling all the way to our next stop.

Dive into the Mysteries of the Sea at the Aquarium

Speaking of next stops, hold onto your hats (or berets) because we're diving deep at the Musée de la Mer (Sea Museum). This isn't your average aquarium – it's a window into the wild world of the Bay of Biscay. From playful seals to mysterious sharks, you'll come face-to-face with the local marine life. And here's a little secret: time your visit right, and you might catch the feeding shows. It's like dinner and a show, but with fish!

Indulge Your Sweet Tooth at Maison Adam

Now, I hope you've saved room for dessert because we're heading to Maison Adam. This patisserie isn't just old; it's older than the United States! Founded in 1660, it's where the macaron was born. Yes, that macaron. Our friend Pierre, the owner, might even let you peek behind the scenes if you ask nicely. Just don't blame us if you leave with a box (or three) of these heavenly treats.

Catch the Sunset at Rocher de la Vierge

As the day winds down, we've saved the best for last: Rocher de la Vierge (Virgin Rock). This iconic rock formation, crowned with a statue of the Virgin Mary, is the perfect spot to watch the sun dip into the Atlantic. It's a bit of a walk, but trust me, the view is worth every step. Plus, our guide Lucas knows all the best angles for those Instagram-worthy shots.
