A great walk awaits those who decide to stroll along the Port des Pêcheurs. What could be better than watching ships sailing back and forth, feeling the fresh sea air and experiencing aesthetic pleasure? Perhaps there are not a lot of things that could be as good as such a recreation. The port is a kind of hidden gem, as it is located under a steep bank. The guiding landmark is the church of Saint-Eugenie which is located just opposite it. Downstairs you can see small fishing houses and restaurants where you can savor seafood.
Speaking of religious monuments, there are quite a few of them in Biarritz, and each of them boasts of a distinctive feature. The most beautiful church perhaps is the Chapelle Impériale; it is even listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The church is notable for the fact that its architecture is a bizarre mixture of Roman-Byzantine and Hispanic-Moorish styles. Its construction was finished in the year 1866. Another church, Église Saint-Martin, is famous for being built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 16th century.
