All Months
July and August bring perfect weather and impossible crowds. Hotel prices triple, beaches pack tight, and restaurant reservations book weeks ahead. But the energy is infectious — festivals every weekend, perfect surf, and warm Atlantic waters. June offers the sweet spot: 22°C days, manageable crowds, and everything's open. September extends summer with fewer people and calmer seas. The Biarritz Surf Festival in July draws international pros, while September's wine harvest brings local celebrations. Winter sees dramatic storms and empty beaches — romantic if you don't mind 12°C and rain. Many restaurants close November through March. Spring starts slow but picks up by May, when locals reclaim their city and prices drop 40%. The shoulder seasons reward patient travelers with authentic experiences and reasonable costs.
