Old fishermen’s port

You’re now in the old fishermen’s port. Look at these pretty white and red houses, known as crampottes. They belong to the town of Biarritz, which rents them out to residents with boats moored in the port. They greatly contribute to the old-fashioned charm of the resort. It’s an ideal place to enjoy a more authentic and definitely friendly atmosphere while sampling a few specialities in the small restaurants. The fishermen’s port was officially declared a free commune on 7 June 1961, with Jeannot as mayor for life! No wonder it has such a strong personality! It’s a real village within the town! I’ll let you enjoy the sea air as you stroll along the seafront.
