Favorite thing: Up until forty years ago, Biarritz was basically the Monte Carlo of the France's Atlantic coast. Becasue of Napoleon, it was the hangout of all of France's wealthy, yuppie crowd. In 1960, though, the Côte d'Azur started to become the popular destination and left Biarritz's tourism industry like Japan's economy in the 90's. It has only been during the last 10 years or so that the city has started attracting those Parisian yuppies again, along with the dreadlocked surfers. With those two differing populations thrown together, it makes for a great nightlife scene.

Favorite thing: Sometimes, when you go on hilday, well...it's not always relaxing.. BUT!!!
I HAVE THE SOLUTION!
Bring your kid to a "Club Mickey" beach club!
While your sunbathing, surfing or snoggin with your loved one your child can be having fun doing different sport activities, learning things and even win prizes for participation!
:)
All this while supervised by competent and friendly staff!
So by the end of the day, both parents and children had the kind of fun they wanted withouth aggravating the other party.
:)
Fondest memory: Winning the Tug-o-war competition and comming back with a racket tennis as a prize!!
:D
(yes.. I was the kid during that holiday..)
