What should I pack when moving to Biarritz?
We asked people living in Biarritz to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Biarritz, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate for the city's mild, oceanic climate. This includes lightweight clothing for the warm summers, as well as warmer clothing like sweaters and jackets for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Biarritz is known for its rainy weather. Also, pack some swimwear and beachwear if you plan on enjoying the city's beautiful beaches. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as the city is best explored on foot. If you're planning on surfing, which Biarritz is famous for, you might want to pack your surf gear. Remember to pack all necessary toiletries, prescription medications, and a first-aid kit. However, keep in mind that you can also buy these items in Biarritz. Pack all your important documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, and medical records. Also, bring any necessary electrical converters for your devices, as France uses Type E power outlets. If you're moving permanently, you might want to bring some personal items to make your new place feel like home. This could include photos, favorite books, or small keepsakes. Lastly, don't forget to pack a French phrasebook or dictionary to help you navigate the language, especially if you're not yet fluent in French," commented one expat who made the move to Biarritz, France.
