    A good way to get your bearings is to take a ride on the little train. It takes you round the town centre it runs every 40 mins.

    The town centre has been altered to make more pedestrian areas.

    There is a cover market at Les Halles open in the mornings we liked the local Basque ham. The town has all the usual shops, cafes, and restaurants. If you would like to stay in Biarritz try the hotels here
