The wide angle view

For a lofty view, head for the cliff walk!
To the north, the panorama embraces not only the entire coastline of Anglet but also the seemingly endless stretch of the sun-kissed beaches of the Landes coast.

The 19th century lighthouse standing proudly over Cape Saint-Martin indicates the boundary between Anglet and its famous neighbour, Biarritz.

When you come down from the cliff, you must not fail to stop at the grotto of the Chambre d'Amour. A legend, worthy of the world’s best melodramas, tells the tale of the fateful romance of two turtledoves, Laorens, a poor orphan, and Saubade, daughter of a rich farmer, who met in the grotto, despite having been forbidden to be so by the father, and that were finally swept out to sea by the wild breakers of the Atlantic.

Perhaps if you lend an attentive ear, you may hear their billing and cooing.
