Le Ruisseau - Biarritz, Gascony

Parc Description

Our 23rd year at this parc. With the beaches of Biarritz and the walking of the Pyrénées to discover, this is always a popular choice.

As well as its fantastic location, this parc offers a wide range of facilities, making it popular with young and old alike. Here you can play tennis, enjoy the attractive outdoor pools and waterslide or try the indoor pool across the road in the newer part of the parc, where there is a recently added spa and balneo complex. There’s also a gym, sunbed, sauna and a spacious children’s play area. With its hillside location overlooking a small lake, it also offers exceptional views of the Pyrénées. There are many reasons to stray from the parc too. The famous beaches, bodyboarding, surfing, shopping and restaurants of wonderful Biarritz are just 8km away; with Bidart and Bayonne right on your doorstep, and Spain and the Pyrénées also within easy reach.
