On the southern coast of France, there is an idyllic town that has hosted such luminary visitors as Napoléon III and Coco Chanel—yet it’s also a surfer’s paradise. This captivating anomaly is none other than Biarritz. Imagine breathtaking landscapes, a rich cultural tapestry, and the aroma of traditional Basque cuisine lingering in the air. This holiday hot spot, perfectly poised along the Atlantic coast, is your gateway to the villages of Basque Country, treasures like Guéthary, Anglet, Bidart, and Arcangues.
Biarritz exudes an old-world charm, intimately felt on the pelota courts in town and experienced while weaving among the moored wooden fishing boats in Guéthary. Craftsmanship is a time-honored tradition in this region—valuing the handmade process of making makhilas and championing the century-old linen producers. Readers might initially come for the waves in Biarritz Basque, but they will stay for the soul.

About Assouline
We created this company to be the first luxury brand on culture. We wanted to supply everything for a contemporary library; we started working with top perfumers for scented candles, with Goyard for a book trunk, with Chanel on a quilted leather slipcase, and so on. Now we are expanding the Assouline lifestyle brand in stores in the most important cities of the world. We love and believe in books more than everything else, but we also want to extend our vision to create all that can be expected in a chic and personalized library, from beautiful books and special editions to luxury gift items, unique library accessories, and now a complete turnkey collection of stylish furniture. Our digital world goes faster than ever and nothing remains of it, but books are a solid part of our past and present. They are also beautiful. For us, books are a matter of intellect and emotion; heritage and innovation. Information is not only about today, and the past is a sensational source of inspiration.
