Bidart
A small Basque Atlantic-coast town in southwestern France, Bidart stretches along several kilometres of shoreline where heavily folded cliffs drop down to beaches, with the Pyrenees visible inland. Bordering Biarritz, it has a well-developed café and restaurant scene for its size and strong surf conditions that have shaped its modern identity. The town distinguished itself from the 16th century through whaling and fishing, and pivoted to seaside tourism in the late 19th century — a shift that has defined it ever since.
