  • Time travel back to a sunny beach in roaring 20s Biarritz France in 1928. Colorized with added sound, using advanced algorithms and manual techniques.
    By the 1920's, the coastal resort of Biarritz on the Côte Basque in France attracted the fashionable and wealthy during the summer and early autumn.
    Those who could afford it, stayed at the Hôtel du Palais which was originally a summer villa built for Empress Eugénie. Her visits turned Biarritz into a popular summer resort.
    The film starts with clips from a hotel overlooking the beach, then a street fashion show. We then move down to the beach for a walk among the sunbathers and swimmers.
    In just a few years over the 1920's, women's swimsuits had evolved considerably when compared to those seen in our recent video "A Day at the Beach c.1921".
    The roaring twenties saw seismic changes in clothing, style and social attitudes.

    Coco Chanel in Biarritz
    Shortly after opening a boutique in Deauville, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel opened her first couture house in Biarritz.
    The embodiment of sartorial elegance herself, Chanel's bobbed hair, streamlined silhouettes in dress and short skirts quickly made her a name in fashion.
    Chanel regularly gravitated towards those whom she saw as 'people of influence' and had affairs with some, such as Russian emigrant Grand Duke Dimitri Pavlovitch, who had fled his homeland following the Communist revolution.
    Dimitri's own sister Maria would herself come to work as a seamstress for Chanel in her couture house.

The older sister lives in the south of France, and is still independent... It's incredible to see how many changes there have been from that time until this... Easy to romanticise it too of course.

Maybe a few of the children are alive, but for all intents and purposes, this is a view of a generation that is completely gone. Except we only get images. In many years to come, people will look back at some content shared on the Internet, some kind of channel, whether it be CZcams, Facebook or something else, see the date stamp, and realize that person is gone, everyone who commented is gone .. and they'll see so much of what it was like at that time ... for good or bad.

But this is the real thing, it brings to life all those people that are in the video. I would love for their families to see them.

    I had some R&R in Biarritz during my biggest musical tour in 1990. After watching this beautiful film I realized that the place has stayed very much the same over the years. Wonderful scenery in that part of France. Our tour bus driver drove our bus onto the beach , sinking the tires up to the wheel wells so that we would be forced to stay a few days until help arrived. We cooked fish on top of a shopping cart and drank loads of Spanish wine. Best time I ever had in my life!

      There are Russians in this video.. Biarritz has attracted wealthy Russian visitors since the middle of the 19th century. Members of the Russian imperial court used to come for the climate and the pampering to be found at the Hôtel du Palais, a former palace built in the 1850s for the French Empress Eugénie.Biarritz was popular among the Russian nobility at the end of the nineteenth century. The Alexander Nevsky church was consecrated in the city in 1892. Feodor Chaliapin lived in his villa in Biarritz. A.P. Chekhov spent two weeks here In September 1897. Nabokov family often brought their son Volodya here. Vladimir Nabokov, who became a world famous writer, recalled being in Biarritz as living in paradise. Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich married American Audrey Emery in Biarritz. Prince Alexander Petrovich of Oldenburg lived in the city after the Russian revolution and emigration. It's rumoured Vladimir Putin has got a secret hideaway in Biarritz..

There were no tanlines anywhere. This was in Playboy magazine around 1990. Some photos of nude women are a work of art. But then again it is in the eyes of the beholder and the maturity of the viewer. Today's Hollywood has no class, unlike European movies of the past half century.

You can't have a huge party here with bands playing music past 10 pm nice and loud, on a weekend even, because the police will be called. I went to parties in Mexico where the 2nd or 3rd band left about 1am and then the record player was kept going for another hour or two. At one party the record player played until 6am that time. My young man and I were the only 2 dancing anymore. I danced all night long since 8pm to 6am! That, my friends, was life. It was the first time I fell in love, puppy love.

    And I was in Biarritz this summer... C'est tellement émouvant. J'étais moi-même sur ces plages pas plus tard qu'il y a quelques semaines...

      I was in Biarritz way back in about 1983 or 1984. It's amazing to see this footage from so long ago.

      I wholeheartedly disagree. A lot has changed. The world is an absolute mess now. Violence all over. Kids can't even be kids. I would give anything to be back in those days. Back then people enjoyed one another, enjoyed the simpler things. No cell phones, computers or having surveillance cameras everywhere you go. There were no gangs, people shooting each other every week, or attacking each other. People were civilized and had respect for each other. People didn't act out of control or like rabid animals back then. For the most part men treated women with respect. Women treated each other with respect (none of this; he may or may not be the baby daddy who slept with my best friend and his best friend and possible cousin too, garbage). Elegant, beautiful and innocent back then compared to now.

      ​@@iwantafrapp Exactly. I was about to write a smiliar comment. Also, people were free back then. Now human rights have disappeared. Everyone wears a muzzle (stupid useless mask) everywhere just because the governments told them to do so, and we're not even allowed to work, go to the restaurant or even the gym if we don't inject ourselves a "vaccine" still in testing phase... The worst part is that a lot of sheeps believe there's nothing wrong with that. People can't think anymore. Take me back to the past please.

    We had a family home in Juan Les Pins. What caught my eye in this film was the Turkish vendor trying to sell his wares to the vacationers on the beach. When we were there, 1960-2017, there were African peddlers selling wood carvings, beads, and clothing, along with the local French merchants selling Pralines. 100 years apart and nothing changed.
