Les Halles is the heart of Biarritz. Recently renovated, it is more than a market, it is the place where locals and tourists meet. For the locals, it is a way of life. For tourists, it is the place to learn how locals live. Locals go to Les Halles for an early breakfast before going to work. Later in the day they shop for fresh produce and then meet with friends for a drink. They go for fresh oysters at Nopal, truffle omelettes at Maison Balme, sushi at Cora, and a banana bread and green juice at the Milwaukee Café. Tourists come to learn about what grows and is made in the region and try as many local delicacies as possible. There are hundreds of cheeses, ripe, juicy fruits, seasonal veggies, Basque and Spanish hams, chorizo, fish and much more. At night, the whole Les Halles neighbourhood truly comes alive.
Rue des Halles, 64200 Biarritz
