What can be better than a rugby tour to the South West of France, and one of the rugby strongholds in Biarritz? Groups can enjoy coaching sessions from full time club coaches, which has in the past been led by France rugby legend Imanol Harinordoquy. Watch Biarritz Olympique play, enjoy surfing lessons on one of the many beautiful beaches, play fixtures against friendly local opponents, and take a behind the scenes tour of Parc des Sports Aguilera. This is a rugby tour destination that takes some beating!
