Du Palais. Biarritz |
|
|
|
Originally known as the Villa Eugenie, the Du Palais was a summer palace built for Napoleon III and, perhaps more specifically, his wife Eugenie de Montijo. Though it took only ten months to complete, the building remains an imposing landmark in Biarritz. It is situated overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and a short walk from the centre of the town. |

We will be expanding this section in the near future, but would very much appreciate your help in finding special heritage accommodation in the area. We are particularly interested to learn of places to stay in the Cathar region and historic hotels in Montpellier, Beziers, Perpignan, Pau, Toulouse and other cities. We prioritise those associated with historical icons but welcome information about period properties offering hospitality. Languedoc and Aquitaine possess some beautiful hotels and inns and we are sure there are others we have overlooked in our research. |
