Biarritz 1st April 2017

Travelled to Biarritz from Santander, sadly it started raining as soon as we began our journey and it continued big style when we got to our destination. We stayed in an old fashioned hotel called Anjou right bang smack inthe centre of town. We had private parking which is a big plus albeit it cost 24 euros for our 2  day stay. The hotel was lovely and clean, downside was we were on the top floor, a few flights of stairs later and we reached our room. Luckily we were happy with it. We went out for lunch it was torrential rain so we jumped into this little bar. Ordered 2 croque monsieurs and a glass of wine and a small beer. It came to 26 euros. We soon discovered how expensive France is, especially Biarritz. We continued on our travels around town but the weather was so bad that we had to call it quits and return to our room. The next day thankfully the rain stopped so we got out to see the sights. Biarritz is beautiful and you can appreciate the opulence of the buildings of a bygone era. The church of Saint Eugenie is stunning as is the virgin on the rock. So much to see and thankfully the rain held off. Delighted we seen the place that's another tick on Arthur's bucket list.
