Biarritz

Simply my best town on earth.

Biarritz is located in the Pyrénées-Atlantique department in France. Close to the Spanish border. Part of the French Basque Country (Labourd).

My favorite place is the Miramar beach, the place where I've passed my childhood holidays and where I come back as often as I can. My family house is very close to it.  Miramar beach is protected by the "Roche Percée" or "Roche Ronde" as some call it. A wonderful piece of rock (see photo).
