  • 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.

In many years to come, people will look back at some content shared on the Internet, some kind of channel, whether it be RUclips, 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.

    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!

    I live around the area and it luckily feels really similar to this, in 2021. Still as beautiful as this, those historic buildings are still standing in the background too. Of course people look different nowadays, but the "spirit" is really still the same.. that moment you're gonna have a swim or just stepping in the sand :) What moves me here, is thinking all those people in the movie, so busy simply living their lives at that moment.. they're all long time gone, and it's a good reminder for us to enjoy our present, to fully live simple moments like this, like when you're just walking in the sand and hear the sound of the sea, the smell... that's maybe what those beautiful ladies from the 20's are trying to tell us ;)

      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..

      One of the best tan women was the late actress Margot Hemmingway who was on a rowboat stretching her back behind her with her arms over her head and was sitting sideways on the boat nude. 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.

I bet there still are vendors walking in the sand. That is normal life. As a teen I used to say that the US outlawed fun. 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.

    This is Truly, Truly Incredible - Fantastic restoration - It's like experiencing an actual Time Machine for the first time in Reality not Fantasy. My hats off to your very hard work on this film.

    0:09 : This landscape has not changed. Even today, when I go to Biarritz (and I go there regularly since I live in the region), I take advantage of this image. Thanks for this video.

      ça a quand même été beaucoup construit depuis. Regardez la montée vers la chambre d'amour.

      When I was there in 1998 I recall they had excellent sea food there at a restaurant. I wonder if it's still there I don't recall the name. A very charming place with a special atmosphere.

    I loved this, thank you so much for posting. This digital technique really makes these faces far less anachronistic and vividly bridges that strange distance caused by the distortion of faces due to antique filming and photography techniques. The faces in those really old photos all have that slightly eerie 'not the same as us' feel and we all strain to imagine what those faces REALLY looked like. Films like this give us an astonishing new answer. They are all as real as the people standing next to me at the supermarket yesterday afternoon. Thank you. Wonderful.
