Biarritz is an elegant seaside resort town, known around the world for its surf-based culture and former frequentation by European royals like Queen Victoria and King Edward VII. Located on the fringe of southwestern France's Basque coast, it's not only a favorite summer destination for style blogger Adenorah but a popular getaway for many Parisians and nearby Europeans to surf all day, enjoy incredible seaside views and lounge in grand palaces converted into modern day hotels.
There's an annual surf competition and world-class surf schools, as well as a flourishing nightlife scene with late-night bars and the famous Barrière, a grand beachside casino. A billboard that reads French chic and elegant style aptly describes the street style scene here, classic swimsuits and breezy white frocks. Espadrilles are all over the place and an easy denim shirt or comfortable jeans stand-in as the ideal cover-up.
"La cote des basques, one of the most beautiful beaches in Biarritz, is the perfect place to start the day."
"Chilling out in my cut-off denim jeans and espadrilles, I love to watch the surfers out here while snacking on tapas."
"Wearing my favorite shirt of the moment in front of a typical fisherman's hut."
"Here in the Pays Basque, the espadrille is the queen. I paired mine with high-waisted boyfriend jeans and a peasant-style crop top."
"Just under the lighthouse, you will find the best secret spot of Biarritz. The view is amazing from here."
"Oceanic blues are always a hit for summer. I tucked a light navy blue sweatshirt into frayed denim shorts with gold sandals for a casual-chic look. "
"It's time to go out in Biarritz with this 90's-inspired vibe outfit."
"This low-cut 70's inspired number is my favorite bikini for chilling out in the city of Le cap Ferret, one of the quietest and most intriguing places in southwest France."
