Biarritz is a French commune located in the extreme south-west of France, on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and less than 35 kilometers from the Spanish border. It is part of the Basque province of Labourd. In Basque, its name is Biarritz or Miarritze and the name for an inhabitant is Biarrot in French and Biarriztar or Miarritztar in Basque. Originally a small fishing town, it became popular as a fashionable holiday destination in 1854 by Napoleon III and his wife, the Spanish Empress Eugenie. Their Villa Eugenie, is the now the very elegant and pricey Hotel de Palais. Popularized over the years by French and British alike, it is a modern hub for surfing and boasts wonderful beaches along the Bay of Biscay. The city itself has welcoming restaurants and cafés, a vibrant arts community and still exudes an old style charm. We visited in late September and it was still warm enough to swim, surf and enjoy the sun on the long beach walk from our Airbnb to the lighthouse. Recommend Biarritz to visitors of all ages, easy walking, public buses and taxis are available. Wonderful food and in driving distance to the Spanish boarder, makes for an excellent day trip. Bayonne is very close and easily accessible by car or public transport. Well worth the visit.

So disappointed!
welcome more than average.
establishment that would require a more chic decor.
The toilets are very poorly maintained with a pestilent smell everywhere!
The very very young clientele seems privileged.
we are assiduous players but 20 minutes was enough to make us leave the establishment.
Too bad for a city like Biarritz.

There is no longer the Casino atmosphere. The reception was not great. A lady told me: we are pigeons here. Our money flies by without the pleasure of playing. AND I AGREE. It's annoying. Whereas before there was a nice atmosphere. Even when we lost we had a good time. This is no longer the spirit of Mr. Barrière.

I came back after a first unsuccessful passage but this is more than limit. The electronic machine
Blackjack is a pure scam 200 euros lost impossible to beat the bank (20 parties at 10 euros ) the bank only makes 21 or blackjack it is unplayable I am only win 1 game out of the 20 made. I doubt that as I was told 96% win in this casino. Even the odds don't work, I've never seen that!
For slots wagering 0.50 cts count 170 euros to have a single bonus that does not pay I am outraged.

View from inside the casino looking out to the sea is nice while machines try to take your money -- and some succeed. Smoke free and no cost to go into with only a picture id. Good selection of machines in a small area and was fun to be in a casino that had been around for some time. Some machines even were in English.

I have spent time in Vegas and Atlantic City among other cities around the globe with casinos.
This was the smallest casino I have ever been in. Perhaps it was the wrong night, but the casino was empty and the poker room was closed. There were 2 blackjack tables and 1 roulette table. The rest of the casino were slot machines. If you are a gambler and looking to actually play, don't go out of your way. If you need something to do and want to kill an hour, then maybe check it out.
I can't speak to the surrounding area.

Dear TravelingOYEster,
I am sorry that our establishment disappointed you. It seems to me improper to compare the casinos of Las Vegas and Atlantic City to any other casino in the world ! It is as to compare the surface of the United States with that of France.
I wish you an excellent stay in France.
Best regards,

Refused entry as they would accept a UK driving licence as ID - serious jobsworths.
Returned with passports and played roulette for an hour about 9pm. Only 2 roulette tables, both French style. Very nice, friendly croupiers but whole place has no atmosphere, it’s all a bit ‘blah’.

The Casino is the dominant landmark in Biarritz. We used this as our focal point to walk around the city and scout around and along the beach front. We had a coffee there, while getting our planning for a day trip finalised. The coffee worked out to be very expensive and was just short of needing to take out a mortgage for a second cup.
The Casino is impressive but lacks soul. Perhaps May is not the peak time for tourism, although the prices seemed to say otherwise. We enjoyed the beachfront walk and the picturesque castle house and landmarks along the way. We got the impression that Napoleon Bonaparte also liked this place and he left a landmark there.

The iconic local landmark dominates the central Grand plage beach with a large terrace and several cafeterias. Besides the Casino the building houses a municipal indoor swimming pool with limited opening hours and strict regulations for good behaviour.

The outside of the casino is very impressive, but once inside, it lacks atmosphere, particularly in a place like Biarritz.
All the machines are high-tech, and the table are in one small area.
It just doesn't feel like a place to stay a few hours.

Bonsoir tout le monde.
Petite question :
Pouvons nous rentrer avec le permis de conduire ? (Nous sommes venus en week-end et évidement, à part nos permis de conduire, nous n’avons pas nos passeport ou carte d’identité.)
Merci d’avance. ☺️

Bonjour à tous. J'ai une petite question. Les petits chiens sont-ils admis comme dans certains établissements luxueux ? Je ne pense pas vu qu'il fait restaurant mais on a beau essayé de jeter un oeil aucune indication à l'entrée et les personnels de l'accueil ne donnent pas envie de poser la question.
Merci beaucoup.

Au casino je ne pense pas mais pour ce qui est du personnel bien d'accord sur le manque de réponse nous avons été très mal accueillis au resto d'ailleurs sommes partis sans prendre le dessert
