Biarritz France

Here is a translation of your English text into American English (USA), with slight adjustments for clarity and naturalness: --- Biarritz is a famous vacation destination located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of Aquitaine, France. Biarritz sits on the Bay of Biscay, along the Atlantic coast in southwestern France. It is next to Bayonne and Anglet, and just 18 km (about 11 miles) from the Spanish border. Biarritz has 6 km (about 3.7 miles) of beaches and is a popular summer vacation spot. Its beaches are known for their fine sand and large amounts of seaweed. The seaweed adds iodine to the water, which is believed to have beneficial effects on the body. These healthy properties are one of the main reasons why Biarritz’s resorts are so popular. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS La Grande Plage La Grande Plage is the town’s main beach, popular with both tourists and locals. It was once known as the “Côte des Fous” (Coast of the Crazy) because so many “sick” people came to benefit from the waters. It’s located in the heart of Biarritz, close to shopping areas, bars, and restaurants. The Rock of the Virgin The Rock of the Virgin is connected to the mainland by a bridge commissioned by Napoleon III. The bridge crosses over the water and even passes through part of the rock, which was carved out. It’s called the Eiffel Bridge, named after the architect Gustave Eiffel, who also built the Eiffel Tower. From the end of the rock, you can enjoy some of the best views of Biarritz. On a clear day, you can even see the mountains of the Spanish Basque Country. Fishermen’s Port This port was built in 1870 for local fishermen. Today, most of the fishermen are gone, and what remains is a charming little port mainly visited by tourists. There are several restaurants located in the picturesque fishermen’s houses. If you want to eat fresh fish or seafood, this is definitely the best place to go. ---
