Gaston's place was a great base for exploring Biarritz and the area. The apartment is comfortable and has all you need to prepare meals, with a lovely, peaceful view of the golf course. The pool was very refreshing and never too busy. It's a short walk down to the lovely beach - quite steep walking back up, but there is another easier route. We were travelling around France by train so didn't have a car, the buses were great and made it easy to explore Bayonne, the pine forest and catch a train up into the Pyrannees. Biarritz is a twenty minute walk away. All in all, we would very much recommend Gaston's place.
