Tours to Biarritz
If you think France is famous only for its Côte d'Azur hot trips, you are very wrong. You can spend your vacation comfortably and excitingly on the so-called Silver Coast.
The only difference is that on this hot tour you will be swimming in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The peculiarity of this French resort before others can be called its diversity.
Besides a beautiful tan, here you can recover in balneological centers, learn surfing, as well as bring unimaginably beautiful photos of mountain landscapes combined with ancient architecture.
Nevertheless, it is quite difficult to objectively assess the cost of a trip to Biarritz. After all, each traveler has his or her own goals for a visit here. In most cases, the price of a tour depends on whether you choose to travel to Biarritz in the high or low season.
It's impossible to say that a trip to Biarritz will cost less than a vacation on the Côte d'Azur. On average, an inexpensive tour here can be found within 3500 EUR. Such rates can be considered justified if you take into account the fact that they include not only flight and accommodation, but also several health and beauty programs, as well as sightseeing tours and full meals.
When you come to Biarritz, you should definitely enjoy the best dishes of local chefs. Oysters, as well as foie gras and poultry, are particularly popular with tourists.
