Events calendar Côte Aquitaine

The ^3rd edition of the Festival Ciné-Notes, which takes place at the Grand Théâtre, was cancelled in 2020 because of the coronavirus. It was dedicated to "Monsters and Creatures" with Jean-Jacques Annaud as guest of honor. On the program was a symphonic concert, but also an exceptional film-concert of E.T. the Extra-terrestrial by Steven Spielberg with the sublime music of John Williams live. To open the festival, some of the greatest film music should have been performed by the Bordeaux Aquitaine National Orchestra: Gremlins, Les Dents de la mer, Jurassic Park, Frankenstein, La Mouche, La Belle et le Bête... This festival covers a wide range of very famous films with emblematic music, but also several eras of cinema, thus reaching a vast audience, both novice and music-lover. The programme also includes film lectures, film screenings with musical introductions, a jazz concert, etc.

The Feline Association of Aquitaine regularly organises feline exhibitions in the region.

Mountain bike ride of 25, 40 and 55 kilometers. Departure from the bike relay point in Créon. Registration on site at 8 am.

The Jurade, Saint-Émilion's wine brotherhood, traces its origins back to 1199. After falling into oblivion, the brotherhood was revived in 1948 by a handful of winegrowers and became the ambassador of Saint-Émilion wines. Every September, the brotherhood organizes the Ban des vendanges from the top of the Tour du Roy. The city then sees the jurats parade past in their ancestral red robes, and witnesses the enthronement of celebrities in the collegiate church. A great moment in the life of Saint-Émilion.

Those in Biarritz are particularly appreciated, from the Rocher du Basta in July, and from the Rocher du Basta and the Grande Plage in August.

Every year, an audience of music lovers comes to attend the piano festival. In parallel to the official program, concerts are given voluntarily "outside the walls" by artists in hospitals (Ehpad, hospitals...).

It is every year since 2015, the meeting of the best professional surfers on the planet! The International Professional Surfing Competition (QS 3.000), female and male of the World Surf League.

It is now one of the most important events of the European season. The best pros come to compete on the famous spots of the Atlantic Ocean.

Open-air screenings of the latest surf films in the Jardin de la Grotte de la Chambre d'Amour in the evening, and daytime screenings at Espace de l'Océan.

Starting from the esplanade Yves-Brunaud, it goes up along the eleven beaches of the city, up to the beach of La Barre. From there, you can join the Adour river and pedal towards Bayonne on another cycle path along the water. The Boulevard des Plages can also be reached on foot.

As a tribute to the tradition in the United States where the winner was given a small golden glove, the Biarritz Athétic Club created the now famous Gant d'Or de Cesta Punta some twenty years ago, which delights amateurs and neophytes alike.
