Description
🚲 A week-long city bike rental in Biarritz is the choice of the holidaymaker who wants to truly immerse themselves in the city — not visit it, but inhabit it for a week.
🌊 With a lightweight, nimble city bike with 21 gears to handle the hills effortlessly, you become the temporary resident of one of the most vibrant cities on the Basque Coast: the Halles market in the morning, the Grande Plage at noon, the old town lanes in the afternoon, the seafront at sunset. And the next day, a different beach, a different neighbourhood, a different atmosphere.
☀️ Over seven days, you have time to explore everything: Biarritz and its seven beaches, Anglet and its 11km of sand, Bayonne and its jambon market, the viewpoints that reveal the Pyrenees on the horizon.
💶 €140 for 7 consecutive days — €20 per day, and €35 less than seven individual bookings. The equivalent of a whole day's rental for free, to experience Biarritz differently.

FAQ
What's the difference between the city bike week and the trekking bike week?
Both are offered at €140 for the week, but the bikes and uses are different. The city bike is lighter and more nimble — ideal for daily rides around Biarritz and nearby (Bayonne, Anglet), on the coastal cycling paths and city streets. The trekking bike (VTC) is sturdier and more versatile — designed for country lanes, long-distance routes on the Vélodyssée, and excursions into the Basque hinterland (Espelette, La Rhune, Hendaye). Choose based on your plans for the week.
Do I need to use the bike every day to get value from the weekly rental?
No — the weekly rental covers 7 consecutive days during which the bike is at your disposal, whether you use it every day or not. The formula makes sense financially from five or more days of use. And even on rainy days or lazy beach days, knowing the bike is there and ready at any moment genuinely changes how you experience your holiday.
What local experiences can you have on a city bike over a week in Biarritz?
The list is long: the Halles market at opening time when locals do their shopping, the Grande Plage before 9am when the surfers still have the water to themselves, the old town lanes without the tourist coaches, the Virgin's Rock at sunrise or sunset, the terraces of rue Gambetta in the early afternoon, Bayonne and its ramparts on a festival day. The city bike lets you access all of this with a spontaneity that no tourist bus can offer.
Is the city bike suitable for riding to Bayonne or Anglet from Biarritz?
Yes — and these day trips are particularly enjoyable on a city bike. Anglet is 20 minutes from the shop via the coastal cycling path — one of the most beautiful linear rides in the Basque Country. Bayonne is 30-40 minutes to the north. Most of the route runs on flat, secure cycling paths. The 21-speed transmission handles the occasional hill along the way without effort.
