Le Petit Train de Biarritz

Le Petit Train de Biarritz is a small train that travels along the coastline, passing by major landmarks like the Casino, Rocher de la Vierge, and Hôtel du Palais. The ride lasts about 30 minutes and gives visitors a guided view of the city's most important sites.

The train's design reflects the 1850s era when Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie brought wealth and glamour to Biarritz. This period transformed the city from a small fishing community into a fashionable resort destination.

The train shares stories about how Biarritz changed from a fishing village into a fashionable seaside town. Passengers hear about the places and people that shaped this transformation during their ride.

The train departs from two stations: near the Casino and at Rocher de la Vierge, with regular service throughout the day. The service is easy to access, and the train stops at convenient points around the city for visitors to hop on and off.

The train uses a trackless electric system that allows it to navigate narrow streets and viewing points that regular tour buses cannot access. This special technology opens up less obvious corners of the city to visitors.
