Beginning life as a Viking settlement in the 9th century, Biarritz was a seaside town living off whaling and ocean trade until the 1700s when healthy benefits of fresh air and pristine ocean were realised. Growing over the years into a popular destination for the rich and famous, it is now a seaside resort city, for travellers from around the world.

With this beautiful part of the French coastline ready to be explored, not to mention the many towns and cities within a short drive from here, you will be able to experience all the area has to offer with your hire car through DriveAway Holidays.

Drive a Hire Car in Biarritz

Famous for its stunning beaches and natural surroundings, it’s easy to see why Biarritz is such a popular destination for travellers. In recent years, a strong surfing culture has emerged, attracting a wide range of visitors of different backgrounds and ages. Simply drive your hire car down to one of the several beaches in the city, and pick a spot to enjoy the sun and surf, something not seen in many parts of Europe.

One of the main attractions for tourists in Biarritz is the Museum by the Sea, which is also located near the beach on the western edge of the city. A huge centre made up of 24 huge aquariums, a visit here will reveal the secrets that lie beneath the surface of the sea, and provide hours of entertainment for the whole family.

Drive your hire car a few blocks in from here, where you will find the Asiatica Museum, a highly regarded attraction with a huge collection of Asian art housed here, comprised of over 1000 pieces, from China, Tibet and Nepal to name a few.

For a completely unique place to visit, jump in your hire car and head a short distance south of the city centre, to the Planete Musee du Chocolat, a famous chocolate museum. With sections of the museum guiding you through the stages of chocolate production, from the farming through to manufacturing, you will gain an inside perspective into the world of cocoa. Be sure not to miss the chocolate art gallery, which includes sculptures made entirely of the sweet stuff.
