What about Biarritz. Only 40 km from the border with Spain and the beautiful city of San Sebastian, It is also next to Bayonne, which has the Aviron Bayonnais rowing club. The rowing is done on the river ' l' Adour ' Biarritz itself is an old town with a lot of history. The area has beautiful beaches, lots of golf clubs, surfing and is very close to the Pyrennees for mountain activities. jonet' . As it is a popular tourist area, the amount of English speakers is quite high. I have been living here for 6 years now and don't regret one minute of it.
