Espagne; même Genève, car il y a un service de train-couchettes qui relient les deux villes. Spain; even Geneva, because there is a sleep train between the two cities (lunéa).
Don't miss... 12 Aug 2011 Daniel, England & Wales:
Le Petit Train de la Rhune - It is a nice change from going to the beach everyday and I think that no matter what your age, you will love it. You can always see Saint Jean de Luz if the mountain air is too much.
For great nightlife try... 18 Aug 2011 DIMITRY, France:

Bus to Biarritz centre only 1 euro but be careful of early last bus return times. Bar in the hostel was well serviced and very reasonably priced.

Single women travelers do not walk the Camino in France or Spain!

In Biarritz, European capital of surfing, you will feel privileged at the Youth Hostel. Moderne, comfortable, welcoming, and user-friendly, it offers a large choice of sport and cultural activities. It couldn't have a better setting. Located near all means of transportation, it is a gateway to the Basque hinterland. Hiking is definitely on the menu - You'll be at the foot of the Pyrenean Mountains, and on Spain's doorstep. Many pilgrims have a stop at the YH before starting the coastal path, also called "El Camino Francés", leading to Santiago de Compostela. This YH is located in a Natura 2000 protected area, on a lake shore, and very close to Biarritz Océan / la Cité du surf, the biggest European Surfing and Marine museum. Accommodation in 2 to 4 bedded rooms (4 to 16 bedded shared rooms in July and August).
