Golden and blue hour in Biarritz: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Biarritz (43.4832, -1.5586) and the Europe/Paris timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 38 minutes in March and 47 in December — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 07:09 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 06:26.
After sunset, Biarritz still offers the blue hour: from 22:11 to 22:25 in June (14 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.
