The Chanel Single Chain Flap Makes Waves in Style

In the resort city of Biarritz, France, the summer season is in full swing. This French Basque coastal region is the last town before the Spanish border. Sitting against the sea, it is home to a Ballet Company and five thalassotherapy centers as well as miles of sandy beaches with wild surf.The fashionable seaside resort also was a favorite summer haunt of Coco Chanel.

The “spirit of the surf” is a daily occurrence here. Biarritz is stated to have some of Europe's best surfing areas and the word on the waves was that Biarritz was re-discovered by the surfing crowd in 1957.

It plays hosts to a number of international surfing competitions during the summer months. The most recent opportunity for women surfing stars to "hang ten" is ready to begin on July 11th to the 17th. The exciting yearly event is known as the Roxy Pro Biarritz.

The surf season may be up in Biarritz, but a new museum dedicated to all things oceanic has opened on June 26th. It aims to raise awareness to issues of the sea.

Designed by the architect and surfing devotee, Steven Holl, in collaboration with Brazilian artist and architect, Solange Fabião, the museum´s body seems to crest out of the landscape like a wave.

Cité de l'Océan et du Surf is another added plus to the seaside complexion of Coco´s much loved summer retreat of Biarritz.
