Car Rental Biarritz – Must Know

When driving you should stay as close as possible to the right lane of the road, and the left lane must be used within a short period of time to make overtaking. If you neglect the local rules and stay on the left lane, someone of local drivers will try to "punish the offender." A local driver can attach to the back of your car in critically dangerous distance and will haunt for as long as the offender is not on the right lane.

Historical Museum 

Historical Museum (Musee Historique) is located in an old Anglican church. Historical Museum tells the stories about the stages of development of the city, ranging from a small fishing port and ending with the development of the coastal resort.

Biarritz Lighthouse

Biarritz Lighthouse was built in 1834. It towers over the Cape Ainsworth, hence the great views of the Atlantic. Lighthouse is located at an altitude of 74 meters above sea level. And if you will climb 248 steps of the spiral staircase to the top, the time spent on the climbing will be rewarded with magnificent views of the beaches, fishing port, green tamarisk thickets of bamboo branches above the Pyrenees in the distance. In good weather it is possible to make out the Spanish coast.

Museum of Chocolate

Impeccable Biarritz culinary reputation can be sweetened with the fact that the region is on the list of European leaders of chocolate production. It is believed that in Bayonne there are more chocolate factories than in Switzerland. Unique Museum of Chocolate is located above Cote de Basque beach and tells almost 400-year history of our favorite delicacy. Make a route to the Museum using your car rental vehicle!

The Rock of Virgin

Huge Rock of the Virgin owes its name to the statue of Madonna that is installed on the top of the rock in 1865. It is believed that this statue protects sailors and fishermen in the Bay of Biscay. Today a statue of the Virgin has become a symbol of Biarritz. A pedestrian bridge connecting the cliff with the ground was built by Alexander Gustave Eiffel, the creator of the famous Eiffel Tower. A walk on the rock with crushing waves on both sides can be called one of the most exciting adventures of Biarritz!
