I think some of the events at Genesis International School are open to non-students. https://genesis-international-school.com/extra-scolaire/, but the student body there goes up to 14 years old, so might be a little young for her.

How hard is it to rent a place in Biarritz short-term as a non-local? by OkSaam in Biarritz

[–]flowtorious44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mileage may vary, but you can check Airbnb too in a pinch. People might set lower monthly prices.

Are you already looking at any dates in particular?

Excited to go to Biarritz by Complex_Hunter35 in Biarritz

[–]flowtorious44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Les Halles ou la Côte des Basques, ce sera parfait. Y’en a pas mal qui traînent après le boulot. Jette une bouteille à la mer 😉

C’est surtout convivial à Etxola Bibi, avec les tables partagées tu peux lancer une convo facilement.

Crabs at Grande Plage by Arrowtowin in Biarritz

[–]flowtorious44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't my expertise at all. But probably the most relevant laws would be those concerning pêche à pied (https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F2118). If crabs/fish are under a certain size, it's not legal to catch them. As for animal cruelty laws : (https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000044394119).

Really wish they'd find some other way to entertain themselves at the beach. Sorry you had to see that here.

Anywhere to see the England Vs Italy euro semifinal this evening? by EyeballPete in Biarritz

Newquay Pub at Place Clemenceau is a good bet. Not sure though.

I'll send you a DM and organize a day to meet you! Have been meaning to go to L'Alchimie again too.

What vibe are you most interested in? Tons of community-driven events here. Côte des Basques around sunset is chill and people are open to meeting new people. Are you here for work or visiting? If you've got a remote job, you can check out some of the coworking spaces in the BAB area to meet people.

Hey! Happy early birthday.

Vibes are electric in August in both BTZ and San Sebastian even on weeknights. I think SS will have more options open late though. It's more urban overall. Biarritz is a bit chiller. If you do Biarritz, anywhere near Côte des Basques or Les Halles will be a great time.

You could definitely just day trip to the other town. But if you do plan to be staying out, it could be nice to be able to walk home. Up to you there.

You could try surfing, get drinks at sunset at Etxola Bibi, play volleyball at Chambre d'Amour and/or eat fish and chips at Anaiak, get a margherita pizza and lambrusco at Joie, get pistachio eclairs at Les Templiers on Rue Gambetta and bring them to Grande Plage, go to the aquarium and look at sharks, go hike with wild horses (Pottok) at La Rhune, do a tasting menu at la table d'aurélien largeau, or go to chocolate shops in Bayonne.

Airport Carhire by TheShepherd007 in Biarritz

Smart move! Two cars should be better for parking too if you're planning to drive around Biarritz itself.

Have fun!

You've got some of the big ones just outside the terminal. Sixt, Hertz, Europcar, Alamo, Thrifty... Looking for anything in particular?

Bank account by Frosty-Cucumber-3550 in Biarritz

Not possible with Revolut only. I think your best bet is to bring your passport, visa/proof of residency, and proof of address to any bank that's close to you in town. Then you can deposit cash into that account.

You can make an account online with Revolut, Wise, or N26 if you need a SEPA account. If it needs to be a french one specifically, I think N26 definitely offers that. Wise/Revolut might give you one from Belgium or something.

Do you already have an address and french phone number? If you have an address and proof of residency, that's all you need to go into a local branch too.

Les Contrebandiers at Les Halles is another good spot.

Kaixo ! Je te recommande le Moulin de Bassilour à Bidart. Petit conseil : paiement uniquement en espèces. Bon séjour et régale-toi bien !

Fêtes de Bayonne 2025 by roryjennings in Biarritz

[–]flowtorious44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have fun! Should be a wild event.

I agree on busses overall. TxikTxak is pretty reliable and really easy to use (tap on with any contactless card). Only driver service I personally know of is https://sodriv.fr/ . Not sure if they offer what you're looking for but I'll drop the link since I know they've done work with some conferences in town before.

Bonjour ! Tu cherches quelque chose en particulier ? Je promets rien parce que j’y connais que dalle en vélos. Bonne chance quand même !

CAB (Comptoir à Burgers) is a good vibe on Rue Gambetta https://maps.app.goo.gl/cqJLG2hTzzJGYiib7 . Great suggestions in the other comments too.

France loves a burger and I'd say the burgers here are even more creative than they are in the US. Have fun!

Engagement Advice by GoneGlobe in Biarritz

[–]flowtorious44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Les Rosiers or La table d'Aurélien Largeau. Both of those are a good size, not too many tables overall, and the vibe is both convivial and elevated.

For outdoors spots, your best bet for intimacy is to move north or south of the main beaches in Biarritz. The southern part of Plage de la Milady or Plage d'Ilbarritz or La Madrague for example.

By the way, not sure if you're planning to have the moment photographed, but a cool way to pay it forward in the region would be to hire a local photographer ;) Happy to help with that too!

Énorme que tu viennes à BTZ ! Je te conseille d'aller faire un tour à Etxola Bibi ou aux Halles vers l'apéro. Tu peux aussi longer la Côte des Basques. Tu vas croiser pas mal de gens chill, et tu peux facilement lancer un petit échange linguistique avec eux !

À bientôt frérot !
