The Local Area: Biarritz (4 kms)

Chiberta
There are some immediate attractions within walking distance: Pignada Forest for jogging, cycling, horse-riding and a kids' adventure park; Plage des Cavaliers is a lovely sandy beach within 5 minutes walk; golf and tennis at Chiberta Golf Club, a 10 minute walk; and Atlanthal Thalassotherapy is less than 5 minutes' walk.

Biarritz
After the wilderness years of the 1980s, this town is back in fashion. Celebrities and sports stars are flooding back to live in the region (including tennis star Guy Forget who lives next door to Villa Chiberta!), turning their back on the Côte d'Azur. Biarritz is an eclectic place; it somehow manages to mix an affluent elderly population with a steady flow of well-dressed surfers plus a sprinkling of super-rich jetsetters on top. A compact and stylish town, Biarritz really does have something for everyone...famous beaches, museums, fine restaurants, boutiques, casino, golf courses, horse-riding and the south west's famous spa and thalassotherapy centres.
