For anyone in Europe, if you think of surfing you think of Biarritz !

If you don’t come to Biarritz to surf, you will get the surfing virus anyway …
Alone or with a surfing school, this part of France (South-West) is the ideal place for surfing holidays.

The best time for surfing is summer if you are a beginner.
If you are experienced, you will prefer autumn and winter.

This is also an excellent opportunity to play golf and learn French or simply enjoy this beautiful and cosmopolitan place.
