Biarritz — Hidden Basque Side

About this tour

Discover the Biarritz the tourists miss. Start at the covered market where Basque farmers have sold espelette peppers and ewe's milk cheese since 1885, find a hidden chapel built by an empress homesick for Mexico, stand before a Russian Orthodox church funded by a tsar, stumble on two thousand pieces of Asian art, watch the world's fastest ball sport in a Basque pelota court, then walk the cliffs from a medieval whaling cove to a lighthouse with 248 steps and a lovers' cave where the Atlantic swallowed two star-crossed souls.
