Biarritz Airport Bus
Biarritz airport, also known as Biarritz Pays Basque airport or Biarritz-Parme airport, is located just 5 km southeast of Biarritz city center. It is a minor international airport in France and mostly offers seasonal flights to western European capitals and connections with bigger French airports throughout the year. On yearly basis, Biarritz airport handles around 1 million passengers. Biarritz is a famous seaside resort and is the last bigger town before the Spanish border.
Travelling to and from the airport doesn’t take much time, due to its vicinity, but since it is a minor, mainly seasonal airport, there aren’t many transport options to choose from.

I will be arriving at Biarritz airport at 2130 on wednesday with my two young sons. Is there public transport to take me to Eurocamp at Le Vieux Port? Alternatively, how much would a taxi cost?
Dear Sandra,
First you need to take a bus from the airport to Bayonnes Train and Bus Station. Once you get there, you need to take a bus to Messanges. (might be under the name “Miziman” a main destination further north). Before arriving in Messanges, there is a mini roundabout and a supermarket on the right hand side. You’ll find the entrance to Le Vieux Port across this supermarket.
Best regards!

Hi
I will be arriving in Biarritz Airport this Oct and will need to connect to Lourdes. My flight will arrive around 6 pm. Is there an easy connection to Lourdes since we will be traveling with luggages? I read your post about taking the “Chronoplus bus line 14 to Bayonne Gare station there take the train or bus to Lourdes”. May I know where I can find the bus stop for the Chronoplus line and how long will the total journey be up to Lourdes?
Am I better taking a cab?
Thanks a lot for your time.
Dear Cristina,
You can reach Gare de Bayonne either by line 14 or line C. Stop for both buses is located on the left side of the airport entrance. Journey to Lourdes takes around 1 hr and 40 mins by Intercités train.
