Biarritz - Place Georges-Clemenceau

The hub of the Biarritz's life, at the meeting of its principal streets, is the elongated Place Georges-Clemenceau. From here it is a short distance to the sea by way of the Place Bellevue.

Biarritz's magnificent situation and the beauty of the coastal scenery can be appreciated in a walk along the seafront promenade. To the northeast the popular Grande Plage (heavy surf) extends to the Pointe St-Martin, with a 73 m/240ft high lighthouse from which there are wide views. Beyond this is the Plage de la Chambre d'Amour, another very beautiful beach; bathers should beware of strong currents and high waves.
