Les Halles is Biarritz's market quarter, built around the covered food hall and packed with bistros, bars and produce stalls. Just a short walk from the Grande Plage, it suits food lovers who want to eat well and feel part of everyday local life.
The covered market is the heart of the area, busiest in the mornings, with surrounding streets full of small restaurants and wine bars that come alive in the evening. It feels more lived-in and local than the seafront, with a convivial, tapas-and-terrace mood after dark.
Getting around
The Grande Plage and town centre are about a 5–10 minute walk away. Biarritz (BIQ) airport is around 10–15 minutes by taxi or bus.
