  • Great location, only a 10 minute walk from the town centre and its beaches.
  • Complimentary coffee, tea and herbal tea.
  • Homestay accommodation very close to school

How we create the points regarding what we like/dislike about a school

Location: The small French beach town of Biarritz is situated in the South West of France, 28km from the Spanish border. Biarritz French Courses Institute is a 20 minute walk from the main centre of the town and is amongst peaceful surroundings. All the main sites of interest like The Art Deco Casino and The Russian Orthodox Church are located around the hub of the town and there is a free shuttle bus not far from the school entrance. The town is right on the coast with beautiful sandy beaches to enjoy and a promenade running along by it. Along the coastline, on a jutting out rock stands the statue of the Virgin Mary, a good luck for sailors in the past to be guided back to shore in bad weather and this is accessible via a pedestrian bridge which offers panoramic views of the area.

School facilities: The school has a comfortable layout with a number of facilities for you to maximise your learning experience. There is a movie rental system, a library, daily newspapers and a well equipped computer area as well as a lounge and a garden to relax in a break or after class.

Course strucutre: Biarritz French Courses Institute focuses its teaching methodology around a people-centred approach, which is reflected in the courses that it has on offer. There is a wide range of options aside from the general language courses such as senior programmes, exam preparation courses for the DALF and DELE exam as well as combination courses with golf, surf and Thalassotherapy.

Cultural programmes: Biarritz has a deep history with the sea, with the locals having an extensive knowledge of the uses of the sea water and this has culminated in a popular place for Thalassotherapy. This is the use of different sea waters in both cosmetic and health care treatments in spas or beauty salons. The school acknowledges the interest in this style of therapy and offers the combination of learning French with 3 spa treatments of this technique per week in a local 5 star hotel. The staff are attentive to the students individual needs and strive to ensure that each student reaches their potential whilst studying at Biarritz French Courses Institute.
  • The language school Biarritz French Courses Institute was founded in Biarritz, France in 2003.
  • Legal name / parent company: Biarritz Language Courses Institute

Student opinions about Biarritz French Courses Institute, Biarritz

Liked
The students and teachers were as friendly as their families. The break time and lunchtime were all spent on the terrace, which led to an improvement in French. It was great that all the teachers knew each and every one. And I liked it because I liked the well-balanced class matched to the students, as well as the grammar statements.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss It is a wonderful school. The teachers are very interested in Japan, and they see each one's personal effort. They are really kind and friendly, so you can ask for personal advice. It is a school where you feel at home while learning French.

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.
Disliked
Some rooms were too hot, air conditioning was not efficient. Classes probably were too big up to 12 students. I would prefer smaller groups.

The family environment and relaxed atmosphere, the teachers' professionalism and the availability, the different age range of students (which also allows a generational confrontation in the debates)
Insider tips about what future students should not miss The students age ranges from 16 to 50 years old, and the program is therefore suitable for an adult audience: is granted more freedom than a Junior program; the course is profiled as an adults course

  • Yes it is possible to rent the equipment. Payment is made on site at the surf school. We can reserve the equipment before your arrival
