| | Hôtel du Palais - Biarritz - France - Official Site |
 | | The Hôtel du Palais in Biarritz, is a joyous palace with a memory, a style, and a rich history. |
 | | It perpetuates the image and souvenir of Eugenie de Montijo, Napoleon IIIs wife, who, one summer day in 1855, with the wave of her imperial wand, gave rise to the « Villa Eugenie » from a sandy hill overlooking the sea near the lighthouse. |
 | | Its style is that of an era, the Second Empire, during which the reputation of Biarritz as « Queen of Beaches and the Beach of Kings » was established. |
