We awoke to a dull morning with some rain around as we started the short journey to Biarritz. A short stop was planned in Hondarribia but clearly there was an important Basque festival under way and absolutely nowhere to park! Hondarribia will have a wait a little longer before receiving an official visit from the LLW!
Once again we had used booking.com to find a hotel which this time had the very romantic name Le Grand Large. However, it was good and in an excellent position overlooking the Boulevard du Prince de Galles and the main surfing beach. Having checked in and parked the Mazda we set off to explore Biarritz.
From time to time the sun came out and we enjoyed a long walk along the Grand Plage - not quite swimming weather but very enjoyable.

There was a festival of dance in Biarritz and open air performances outside the Casino were attracting reasonable numbers of interested onlookers.
Later in the afternoon we decided to drive the short distance to Bayonne and managed to find ourselves in the very narrow streets of the old town around the cathedral which provided some great views but did require careful navigation from the LLW. Back to Biarritz along the coastal route where we passed several vast sandy beaches.
