🇫🇷 Airbnb pricing in
Pays Basque.
The Pays Basque is one of France's most price-volatile short-term rental markets — 9,300 priced listings with a 75th percentile at €180, almost 2.4× the 25th percentile (€75). Biarritz (€196) and Bidart (€212) anchor the premium segment, while Bayonne (€120) is the entry-level pole. Seasonality is brutal: surf-week peaks, summer-festival weeks, and shoulder-month soft demand compress months apart.

Where the prices actually move.
Pricing against the city-wide median is the most common mistake. The same property type can swing €40+ depending on neighborhood. Here is the real breakdown.
What Pays Basque hosts miss.
Biarritz hosts who hold a flat summer rate miss the surf-event peak weeks where comp set ADR jumps 40%+ in 7-day windows.
Bayonne is structurally undervalued by hosts who only look at Biarritz comps — its festival weekend pricing should index closer to coastal.
Arcangues and Bidart command the highest medians (€165 and €130) — luxury villa segment where event-aware pricing is the difference between break-even and best-year-ever.
