Eugénie de Montijo was Napoleon III’s wife and thus the last empress of France.
She fell in love with the city of Biarritz in France, and that is why Napoleon bought her a palace here.
This was not only the sign of their love but also a place to impress prestigious guests.
The elite of the world came to rest in l’Hôtel du palais (Also known as Villa Eugénie).
Kings, queens, artists, actors… A lot of celebrities came here.
