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.
