University Rugby Tours to Biarritz, France

If you're looking for a good standard fo rugby on your student rugby tour then Biarritz is the best destination in Europe. Biarritz is a large town with several ‘quartiers’ and is one of the principal resorts on the Côte Basque. It's a vibrant cosmopolitan town with great beaches, golf courses and numerous sporting facilities, not forgetting the surf. Surfing started in France here in Biarritz in 1957 and surfers come from all over the world to ride the waves. The Biarritz Surf Festival brought together surfers from Hawaii, California and Australia every year in July to celebrate the birth of surfing in Biarritz.

Biarritz has a bustling town centre which backs onto the beaches with strong Atlantic waves crashing on the sandy beaches. There are dozens of bars and restaurants throughout the town centre, most notably the ex-captain of the French rugby team Pascal Ondartz has a restaurant and bar (le Caditz) on the seafront with the best views over the beach. Biarritz is also close to the Pyrenees so a short coach journey can bring about some breathtaking views and adrenaline sports including canyoning, white-water rafting and skiing.
