Getting There
The wedding will take place in and around Biarritz and there are many transport links possible. We hope that many of you will travel to the region a few days before / after the wedding and take the opportunity to visit this exciting region. However, if your schedule doesn’t allow this, please note that the wedding ceremony will start mid afternoon on September 6th so we suggest to not arrive later than late morning on Saturday!
By Car
Biarritz lies next to the major motorway connecting Bordeaux to San Sebastian. It is just over 1,000 km from either Basel or Brussels (approximately 11 hour drive). If you travel by car, we recommend you book accommodation that has parking or look for a nearby parking. Biarritz has limited parking available in the city centre but good options around the city.
