Biaritz, 1854. 'Biaritz is described in Murray's Handbook as a little secluded ;It consists of a group of white-washed lodging- houses, cafes, inns, traiteurs, cottages, &c., and generally of a humble character"...The health of the Empress, which had for some time previous to her visit been very delicate, is said to have been greatly improved by the genial climate of Biaritz [Biarritz in south western France]. The Emperor goes every morning to limpid purity of the sea and the smoothness of the sand render bathing in the sheltered bays most agreeable.

The Emperor goes every morning to limpid purity of the sea and the smoothness of the sand render bathing in the sheltered bays most agreeable. French ladies and gentlemen en costume des bains consume hours in aquatic promenades. The ladies may be seen floating about like mermaids, being supported on bladders or corks, and overshadowed by broad-brimmed its sea-bathing, its rocks, and its view, Biaritz must be the dullest place upon '.
