Boutique 64
64 are the first two numbers of the region's zip code and this sporting goods brand carries it printed on T-shirts, sweaters and baseball caps. It also carries light dresses and casual summer fashion.
Espadrilles Arin
This sliver of a boutique near the beginning of Rue Mazagran focuses on espadrilles in a variety of style, colors and patterns. Even the classic, flat versions come in numerous incarnations, including some very cute striped ones.
Jean Vier
The vibrant Basque linen of Jean Vivier are quintessential mementos from this region. The classics are tablecloths and table runners but the boutique carries everything from napkins to bath towels and all feature brightly colored, striped Basque patterns. It's a must for first-time visitors.
Les Halles
The two large covered market halls are the heart of Biarritz bustle every morning. The scene kicks off at a more leisurely 8/8:30a.m., compared with the Parisian markets that get going hours earlier. One hall is dedicated entirely to all things seafood, while the other has stands selling everything from fresh produce to spices and foie gras. The scene is a lot of fun and the restaurants lining the market are also busy around this time, so you can stop for a coffee and pastries.
Les Sandales d'Eugénie
This lovely shoe shop carries a large variety of espadrilles in eye-catching colors. Look for the Père Gabia brand.
Pariès Confiseur
With an Hermès orange–colored awning, this venerable chocolatier and confiserie is a must-visit for Biarritz sweet treats. They are particularly known for Basque macarons (very different from their pastel-colored siblings sold in Paris) and kanougas (a mix between a nougat and a caramel). Their colorful wrapping makes them great gifts to bring back to the States.
