Getting around the hotel

During your stay at the hotel or beyond, the different means of transport you'll be using don't have the same impact on the environment
nor do they offer the same level of comfort.
Here are a few tips to help you get around more comfortably
with less impact on the environment.

1. Public transport (bus, train) 

Use Txik Txak buses to get around the Basque country. To reach Hendaye or Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the TER train is a good option. 

The electric Tram'bus is the ideal way to get around Bayonne in an eco-responsible way.

Find out about timetables and mobile applications to optimize your journeys (e.g. Citymapper, Moovit, Txik Txak).

2. Bicycles or scooters (classic or electric) 

Renting an electric bike or opting for the blue "Pony" two-seater bikes that are self-service in many places is a great way to get around the Basque Country.

 Cycle paths are well developed, particularly on the Vélodyssée, 

along the Atlantic coast.

4. Scooters (internal combustion or electric) 

The scooter is perfect for driving between the coastal towns of the Basque Country, such as Biarritz and Anglet,

 Bayonne, Saint-Jean-de-Luz. It allows you to avoid summer traffic jams and enjoy great freedom of movement.

• Go for electric scooters: several rental agencies offer them, especially in Biarritz.
• Always wear a helmet and make sure you have adequate insurance.
• For longer journeys (e.g. to Espelette, the Corniche Basque or even San Sebastian), 

remember to check the range if you're on electric.

• Avoid winding mountain roads in bad weather if you're not experienced.
• For two people, passenger comfort must be taken into account: not all models are equally suitable.

5. The train 

Take the TER to Hendaye and cross into Spain with the Topo to San Sebastian.
The TGV Paris-Bordeaux-Bayonne is the best alternative to flying.
To get to Biarritz station by bus from the hotel: take line 12 a few meters from the hotel(link).
For a picturesque adventure, take the Petit Train de la Rhune!

6. The car 

If you need to rent a car, opt for a hybrid or electric one.
Charging stations are available in Biarritz, Bayonne and Saint-Jean-de- Luz. Use car-sharing services to avoid unnecessary long rentals (e.g. Getaround, Free2Move).
Opt for carpooling whenever possible to reduce ecological impact and costs (e.g. Blablacar, Karos, La Roue Verte, Mobicoop).

7. Cab or VTC 

VTCs are not as well developed as in Paris, but some services operate in Biarritz during the high season.
For local trips, book a traditional cab. Electric or hybrid vehicles are preferred whenever possible.

8. The plane ✈️

Biarritz-Pays Basque airport offers flights to Paris, Lyon, London and Madrid,
but if you're coming from Paris, Bordeaux or Toulouse, take the train - it'll take you less time!
