Next year will be
in Biarritz with a flying visit to
Paris. Biarritz is a town of 30.000 (swelling to 100,000 in the summer) located on the south-west coast of France near the Spanish border, about five hours by train from Paris and eight flight connection a day. Biarritz is the oldest sea resort in France and for that matter in Europe, before Nice, before Cannes and St-Tropez before all the others. Originally a quaint fishing village, it became fashionable in 1854 when Empress Eugénie and Napoléon III set up there, soon followed by everyone fom Edward VII and Queen Victoria of England to Emile Zola and Alexander Dumas. The town has three good beaches and two casinos. It is the first European surf destination since 1957 and, thanks to its mild micro-climate all year round a great hit for golfers as well. In fact, its golf course is also the oldest in Europe outside England. With such a good tradition, and San Sebastian 25 kms away, Biarritz offers an excellent touristic infrastructure from budget to first class hotels and access through road, train and flight (three airports access : Biarritz, San Sebastian, Bordeaux). The Congress Center is only 10 minutes from the airport and everything is in walking distance. The CEPIC Committee was warmly welcomed by the Office du Tourisme of Biarritz and by the Mayor of Biarritz personally, Mr Borotra. With the active co-operation of the town, we hope to make our next Congress a very pleasant and prosperous experience. And for those who have time to holiday, Biarritz is the gateway to the Pyrenees mountains and the Basque region. See you next year ! |
