Talk to me about getting to Biarritz

[Vocal Minority]

Have tried googling this and cannot get a very straight answer.

Going to Biarritz with other half in December, can anyone recommend routes from which Biarritz is accessible fairly easily, but not necessarily a direct flight?

Looking at Eurostar/TGV options, but that could well be uneccesarily faffy on first glance

Ryan air Stanstead to Bordeaux then hire a cheap car for a 3 hour journey to your destination.
Or maybe a train from Bordeaux.

Isn't Biarritz mostly shut in December?

BA used to fly there, now easyjet do LGW-BIQ.
For connections, try ORY, GVA and LYS.

You can also fly into San Sebastian (EAS) via BCN - its just over the border. Personally I think San Sebastian is a much nicer place, and the food there is unreal

Try flighjts to San Seb as already suggested or Bilbao.
There is always Toulouse as well

Good luck

We've been a couple of times and flew from Stanstead to Bilbao with Ryanair or Easyjet (can't remember which one). Then hired a car in Bilbao. It's only about 90mins drive if I remember correctly.

Have you considered taking the ferry and driving there? Portsmouth to Saint Malo and about a 5 hour drive or ferry tobSantander / Bilbao and a couple of hours drive.
