Originally a small fishing village, Biarritz transformed into a summer home for the European aristocracy in the 1800s. During World War II, Biarritz was occupied by the Nazis. Later, in the 1950s, the town became popular for surfers, attracting hundreds of travelers in the summers. Now, with a rich historical background, Biarritz is a popular tourist attraction known for its architecture, surfing, and golfing. Guests can walk into town for surf shops, markets, and cafés.
