What our students said about Biarritz

Biarritz is a very beautiful Basque city whose traditions are recognizable. The coastline to the south exudes a certain charm with its steep slopes and the Côte des Basques is a great beach, but unfortunately only accessible for half a day. The Grande Plage is mainly used for tourist life, where it can get quite crowded in the high season. The weather is not so stable that Biarritz is the ideal place for sunbathing, but the waves there enable a unique surfing experience, which definitely makes up for a little wind or rain. The city is very well connected by buses and offers numerous restaurants.

4.0Florian Germany

I loved Biarritz, location, the ocean, the coastal line, the history, everything, food, shopping, cinema, theatre, surfing-I tried everything. I am going to go back there.

4.0Alexandra England UK

Really liked the whole vibe of the place including the lovely beaches, great transport links, interesting places to visit etc.

4.0Michelle Ireland

Biarritz is a very beautiful city! Because it's on the Atlantic, the climate was perfect.

4.0Jessica Switzerland

No assessment of the climate, as it was constantly over 30 degrees, even 40 for 2 days!

Biarritz is characterised by tourism. The location of the town is beautiful.

Biarritz French Courses Institute

I liked the atmosphere, almost family like. The school building and the yard look absolutely fantastic in the summer. I liked coffee/tea facilities. I liked the fact that the students can just easily talk to tutors, and the tutors were friendly and engaging. Teaching methods were good I thought.

Information about Biarritz

Why Biarritz? An elegant seaside town in the south west of France, Biaritz has been a popular resort since the 1800s. It’s also a major surfer hangout, offering long sandy beaches and lots of surf schools. Although the seaside town has retained much of its glamour, a lot has been lost due to the countless concrete buildings that have been built in recent years. Nevertheless, Biarritz remains one of the southwest's seaside gems and throngs with visitors in summer. The Rocher de la Vierge is a rocky outcrop topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary and can be reached by footbridge, a top it offers fabulous views of the Bay of Biscay.

Q&A - Questions about French courses and schools in Biarritz

I would like to book a surfing and French course for my son Daniel, 17 years old. He has previous knowledge of A2 and would like to live with other boys his age.
I recommend the Young Adult French & Surf programme from Les Ateliers FL which also includes host family accommodation with 15-17 year old teenagers.
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - May 03, 2024
I am 17 years old and would like to do a French course in the summer months, combined with host family accommodation. What do you recommend?
We work with several schools in Biarritz. Now, as a 17-year-old, you can often choose whether to participate in a youth programme or an adult programme. Will you let us know which you prefer and when you turn 18?
International House and International Projects Junior Summer School both have courses for 17-year-old students in Biarritz, including accommodation. Send us a message with when you want to start.
Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Jan 10, 2023
I would like to book an intensive course of about 30 lessons per week and I would like to know if, once the course has started, I could change it to only 20 if I see that it is too heavy for me.
Making changes once the course has started is possible as long as the school has availability for the new course, but keep in mind that in most cases, schools do not make any refunds if the course has already started.
Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 22, 2022
I'm looking for French and golf lessons for a 16 year old boy in Biarritz during the summer. Which school do you recommend?
The Biarritz French Courses Institute offers French and golf courses. This is an adult programme, the minimum required age is 16 years. The average age during summer is: 18-25 years. The course includes 20 French group lessons per week in the mornings, and 3 golf lessons (2 hours each) per week in the afternoons. Sessions are supervised by a qualified golf instructor. Equipment is provided. Situated between the mountains and the sea offers excellent playing conditions throughout the year due to the mild climate.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
