EDITORS COMMENTS
Biarritz: A Royal Retreat on the West Coast of France Biarritz, a charming seaside town located on the southwestern coast of France, has long been a favored destination for European royalty. This enchanting photograph print captures the essence of Biarritz and its rich royal history. The scenic image showcases various landmarks and picturesque scenes around Biarritz, including the rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and elegant villas that have drawn monarchs and nobility for generations. The town's allure was popularized by Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, who made Biarritz her summer residence in the late 19th century. The central part of the photograph features a significant moment in Biarritz's royal history. In 1906, King Edward VII of England, a frequent visitor to the town, met his niece, Princess Ena of Battenberg, at the Biarritz train station. Princess Ena, who would later become the Queen of Spain, was courted by and eventually married King Alfonso XIII of Spain at the Villa Mousricot in Biarritz. This romantic encounter marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of these two royals and further solidified Biarritz's reputation as a royal playground. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the opulent world of European royalty and their connection to the beautiful coastal town of Biarritz. A must-have for history enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone who appreciates the elegance and allure of a bygone era.
