fascinating as its coastal landscape. <strong>Known in the Middle Ages as <\/strong><\/span><strong><i>Beariz<\/i><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1843, this city was one of the most important whaling ports in the French Basque Country. However, its transformation into a luxury destination began in 1843, when the famous playwright <strong>Victor Hugo discovered it<\/strong> and glimpsed the potential of what would later become a renowned seaside resort town. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This radical change was consolidated when <strong>Marie Eugenie<\/strong>, wife of <strong>Napoleon III<\/strong>, fell in love with Biarritz during her honeymoon. In 1854, Napoleon III ordered the construction of a beachfront palace, known today as the <strong>H\u00f4tel du Palais<\/strong>, one of 31 hotels in France with the prestigious title of palace. The therapeutic properties of the sea baths in Biarritz attracted the European aristocracy, turning this small fishing port into a haven for royalty.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-36d476f8\"><picture class=\"gt-avif-picture\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz.avif 1366w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-300x169.avif 300w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-1024x576.avif 1024w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-768x432.avif 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz.webp 1366w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\"><img data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" data-gt-avif=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-36d476f8\" src=\"https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz.webp\" alt=\"Biarritz\" title=\"Biarritz\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz.webp 1366w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/glutendtrotters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Biarritz-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/picture>\n<figcaption class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-59869207 gb-headline-text\">Stock image of Biarritz \/ Photo by Canva.com<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The coat of arms of Biarritz, with its Basque whaling ship<\/strong>, pays tribute to the town&#8217;s rich fishing tradition.

After Napoleon III&#8217;s death in 1873, Eug\u00e9nie sold the property to the Union Bank of Paris in 1880. The building went through several transformations: it first became a casino and then, in 1893, a hotel.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fire devastated the building in 1903, but it was rebuilt between 1903 and 1905, taking the <strong>shape of an &#8220;E&#8221; in honor of the Empress Eug\u00e9nie<\/strong>. This remodeling allowed the H\u00f4tel du Palais to become a luxurious hotel decorated in the style of the Second Empire. In 2011, it was awarded the prestigious &#8220;Palace Distinction&#8221;, consolidating its status as one of the most exclusive and emblematic hotels in France.

Although time has passed and the old fishing warehouses now house restaurants specializing in fish, the port is still a lively and authentic place.
