1 Best Performing Art in The Basque Country, Gascony, and Hautes-Pyrenees, France

In September (or occasionally October), this three-week festival presents dance performances, from classical to hip-hop, in a range of venues throughout the city. They're often held at the Théâtre Gare du Midi, a renovated railway station. Troupes such as the Ballets Biarritz, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, and leading étoiles from other companies take to the stage in an ambitious schedule of events, with admission generally starting at about €20.
