The Art of Travel in Anglet, France

Anglet Guide

Anglet or if you would like to use the Basque name Angelu is a coastal town twenty minutes drive from Spain renowned for its 11 beaches including the famous surfing beaches of Cavaliers (with its perfect barrels when the wind and tides are right) and VVF spreading between the Cape Saint Martin and the estuary of Adour, ideal for your next holiday in the Aquitaine on the Atlantic coast of South West France.

The town is split up into 3 main parts, the Chambre d'Amour with its sand beaches, beach front restaurants, night life (try the Love Club Disco for a classic night out) surf schools and surf shops.

The mid part of the town, which has an old France feeling to it, with its local bars, cafes and shops is the place to feel the Basque culture and life style and the top section where we find the airport and industrial estate hidden behind the RN 10.

The airport of Biarritz -Anglet- Bayonne is found on the N 10 about 2 km outside the town centre has regular flights to the Stansted in the UK and many other European destinations. When you fly in ot out of the airport you will get great views of the region and the coast line. With Biarritz train station only 3 km away to the south, with TGV connections to Bordeaux and Paris getting here by train is easy. The commune has put together a good local bus service, so its easy to get around without a car, as in the summer months the roads can be very full with frustrated drivers trying to save on the expensive tolls of the motorway running behind the town.
