The beautiful seaside  city of Biarritz is located on the Bay of Biscay   in southwestern France. The border town of France with Spain is  very  popular with tourists and surfers.

The town boosts off an impressive natural beauty, a landscaped mountain on the Atlantic coast.

 

 

 

Architectural building  masterpieces are scattered all over the town. They were important structures and part of the town's history.

 

 

 

 

The Museum of the Sea, which has 24 aquariums containing sharks and seals

St-Martin's Church, constructed in the 12th century, and restored in the middle of the 16th century

Undeniably the most concentrated part of the town in terms of tourists is the waterfront. Almost all kinds of tourists are here, surfers, beach bums, or just plain visitors on sightseeing and picnics.

 

For other tourists who want to try their luck, the are   two huge casinos namely the Barriere and the Bellevue just steps away from the beach side.(pic 796)

What really caught my interest in this town are the cliffs and lookouts on the beach. The cliffs  were  so amazingly sculptured by mother nature  are and the lookouts are strategically landscaped. See the pictures below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 There is also an easy way to go around the town by riding the  tourist train. It has  several stops just like the usual hop on-hop off tourist bus.
