Situated in the curious seaside town of Biarritz, where upscale boutiques sit beside laidback surf shops, this breezy apartment is the perfect base from which to explore France’s southwestern coast. Inside the home, it’s relaxed and light-filled with glorious ocean views from the living space and bedroom. Begin slow mornings with brioche and espresso on your private balcony or potter about in the pale-painted living space, putting together a picnic in the kitchenette ahead of an afternoon at the beach. Choose between the Plage De La Chambre D'Amour, a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep, and the Plage Miramar, reached in less than ten minutes by foot. After frolicking in the shallows and basking in the sunshine, take the twenty-minute walk into the centre of town for glasses of full-bodied red in traditional bistros and tastes of artisanal produce in Halles Market – you mustn’t leave without trying a slice of indulgent gâteau basque.
