Historic sights in Biarritz
Many tourists travel to Biarritz to enjoy the lovely weather and the beach. But there is also plenty of culture to discover. The most well-known sight is the lighthouse on the Pointe Saint-Martin. You can climb this 47-metre high lighthouse from 1834. The 250 steps will take you to the top from where you can enjoy the amazing view over the bay of Biarritz. In addition to the lighthouse, you can visit Villa Eugenie, Napoleon's historic summer residence from 1854. It is now a hotel so you can even spend the night there.
