Bed and breakfast in Anglet

Anglet's gastronomic and natural heritage

It lies on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and has a population of around 40,000. Its population increases significantly in the summer months, Anglet brings together surfers in search of thrills and families who have come to discover its inimitably charming coastline. Anglet is a very large town, covering an area of almost 27 square kilometres. You could find your bed and breakfast in Anglet near the dunes with your feet in the water, or book a pied-à-terre on the plateaux where you'll find different but equally fascinating landscapes! Anglet's gastronomic heritage is also one of its greatest assets. You won't forget the flavours of ventrèche, a charcuterie that can be eaten raw or pan-fried. Elzekaria and axoa are often found on restaurant menus. The former is a delicious soup, while the latter is a minced beef or veal dish spiced up with chillies. To round off a meal in Anglet, you'll be spoilt for choice! Basque cake, koka or even Bayonne chocolate  all these delights will not leave you indifferent and may even motivate you to go on a diet when you return from your stay...

Walks and water pleasures

The best local Basque produce is on display at the Quintaou market, held on Thursday and Sunday mornings. You can also find typical local ingredients at the Halles des 5 Cantons and the Bernardines vegetable garden. To take advantage of Anglet's relaxing setting, there's nothing better than a short bike ride! Enjoy the panoramic views from the seafront cycle path and the paths leading into the Lazaret forest. Another idea that might interest you is a walk through the Izadia ecological park. It's hard to ignore the water sports on offer by the sea. Surfing is the king of them all, and is practised on the Plage des Cavaliers and taught to adults and children alike. The more contemplative stand-up paddle is ideal for enjoying the charm of the Basque Coast. You can also try your hand at sea kayaking and wave skiing during your holidays in Anglet! Between two sporting activities, why not take in the colours while lying comfortably on your towel? You can choose between the Dunes beach, the bucolic Océan beach or the Marinella beach, which is very popular with young people.
