Biarritz, France

Pay less than booking at the school
What we like about the school
  • Location, 5 minutes to the beach
  • Free tours of the city.
  • Free film club.
What we dislike about the school
  • Cancellation fees if visa is rejected.
  • A 45 minute lesson duration is a bit shorter than normal.

Location: The school is located in the Centre Ville section of Biarritz, France, one of the most popular areas of the city and its focal point. This charming neighbourhood is home to a number of museums, the Food Halls market, sweeping boulevards, and restaurants for tapas and wine bars. Biarritz has an electric nightlife, with lots of nightclub options. Les ateliers FL Biarritz is to the southern edge of this neighbourhood, a few streets back from the beach.

Visiting the attractions: The central square of Biarritz is a 10-minute walk from Les ateliers FL Biarritz. The city is France's surfing capital and the beach is the place where this happens. The school is 10 minutes from Beach Cote des Basques, which is the prime surf beach in the region. Other city features are found in Port Vieux, which juts out from the coast. Here there are interesting rock formations, a scenic road looking over the coast, a beautiful beach and some historical monuments to explore.

Courses at Les ateliers FL Biarritz: In addition to General French programmes taught over various schedules and intensities and available to students of all levels throughout the year, Les ateliers FL Biarritz also provides Exam Preparation (DALF/DELF) and Teacher Training programmes at various times throughout the year. One-to-one and two-to-one courses are available in conjunction with or independently from any other programme.

School facilities: The school building has classrooms created for ultimate learning capabilities. After class, there is a kitchen, living room and relaxation area for students to socialise with other students at the school or enjoy their breaks in between lessons.

In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Student comments about "French + Surf" at Les ateliers FL
Saverio 3.0
"It is not convenient to pay for surf lessons in advance. Because they are not refunded in case of absence. It is better to decide daily according to weather conditions and one's health condition. The cost is always 40 euros anyway."

“I was in a small group of 4-5 students. This gave a lot of opportunity to practice speaking and ask questions. The lessons became really individual and personal! The teacher had her laptop connected to a projector. If we didn't know words, she didn't just translate them, but showed us the pictures and explained it that way. I thought that was great! The lessons were regularly divided into a small grammar section at the beginning, then a lot of free speaking and practising and a small game at the end.
I really liked the fact that the surf lessons were organised through the school. It was stress-free and uncomplicated. You can surf every day except Saturday/Sunday.”
Disliked
“Unfortunately, the WiFi at the school didn't work very well. But it wasn't necessary for the lessons.”
Insider tip: “I did three weeks. It was perfect for me, but after three weeks of daily surfing and weekend excursions, I ran out of steam. You can always book more lessons on site and take individual lessons. You can also rent surfboards and wetsuits. There are several people at the school who went surfing without a surf course!”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The surf course is every day except Saturday/Sunday.
The instructors are great! It still helped me to watch one or two YouTube videos of Kale Brock.

“The atmosphere in the school was friendly and relaxed. The professor was very competent, thoughtful and willing to listen to the students' interests, including the content. The lessons were demanding but not overwhelming. The school is located near the sea. I liked that very much. I was able to improve my French and my enjoyment of the language increased. I wasn't interested in any afternoon activities, but I assume that surfing, for example, was nice.”
Disliked
“Some rooms are very small, so the indoor climate in them was not good.”

“The teachers were extremely committed to both integrating everyone at their own level and promoting them individually. In this way I was able to take the exam for a better DELF/DALF certificate than I had initially strived for. The integration of digital technologies into the classroom has also made learning easier and more varied. Finally, I liked the principle that there was a lot of oral communication in class.”
Disliked
“In contrast to the online courses, there were only one or two groups in face-to-face classes and thus a loose division into performance classes. Despite the efforts made by the teachers to provide us with various assignments, the conversations together were far more effective for some than for others. In one case, participation in several online courses has proven to be more successful. The change, however, was absolutely no problem. Furthermore, I understood that the school was a testing center. The bus trip to an unknown location in Bayonne did not create the atmosphere of concentration that should exist before an exam, but it was easy to manage thanks to the good public transport network.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The face-to-face French classes were extremely sociable and didn't feel like school. The afternoon lessons of DELF/DALF exam preparation, on the other hand, were much more demanding and really exhausting at the beginning, but they also led to greater learning success.

“- Biarritz is a beautiful city - location of the school within walking distance of the ocean. - facility that is equipped with a kitchen and refrigerator - surfing course - yoga course - excursion to Bayonne”
Disliked
“- In the reception on the first day I noticed some disorganization. - lack of a welcome packet (a pen and notebook would have sufficed). - change of professor every week. - all extracurricular activities were chargeable. I would have expected at least some free excursions. But especially some weekend activities. - lack of an agreement with a store that rents bikes or scooters. Fortunately, they gave me a 5 percent discount for bike rental. - convention with surf school ridiculous. Group course prices too high for the school. Almost nonexistent discount for individual lessons. I recommend improving this convention by increasing the discount for the school.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: It is not convenient to pay for surf lessons in advance. Because they are not refunded in case of absence. It is better to decide daily according to weather conditions and one's health condition. The cost is always 40 euros anyway.

"I noticed a slight lack of 'hygiene even during breakfast. The room was not cleaned after the first week. I had to buy toilet paper because it was pointed out to me that I was consuming so much. I had to rent a bike to do the school-to-home route to be independent and because public transportation was not very punctual. In the next course I will take a B&B closer to the school and to be more independent."

"I lived in a flat with my husband. The location was very good as it was quiet and not far from the school and the beach. The furnishings were a bit older. There was some furniture in the flat that we could not use. The washing machine did not work and there were problems with the drain in the kitchen unit. Overall, it still had a certain charm, so we accepted the accommodation. "

    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - May 07, 2024
  • “The school will mix nationalities when selecting host families, so that your son will be in the room with a Spaniard, Italian or Swede, for example. The school can never guarantee it 100%, but will do its best to place the young people. It depends on the number and mix of students from different countries at the time of the trip. Approximately 35% of the students at Les ateliers FL come from Switzerland and Germany alone.”
    Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - May 03, 2024
  • “Every summer there are many Swiss students at our school in Biarritz. It's around 40%. If you add the German and Austrian students, the figure is around 60% German-speaking students. This happens every summer in high season.”
    Victoria, from France Langue - Aug 08, 2023
  • “There is parking near the school, but unfortunately it is not free.”
    Victor, from France Langue - Aug 01, 2023
  • “If the students are only 14 years old, we will not be able to include them in our adult programme. The minum age is 17 years.”
    Corinne, Administration from France Langue, Biarritz - May 29, 2023
    • “Lessons are held in French, even from a relatively low level. The teachers only use English in an "emergency" when you're stuck. The immersive learning usually works very well, because the teachers are trained accordingly and can inspire even beginners with simple words for the language and promote learning progress!”
      Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - May 02, 2023
    • “Unfortunately, no. There may be students with allergies, so no animals can be in class.”
      Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 05, 2023
    • “The schools themselves, not us, are responsible for arranging accommodation for students. When you book online on our website, you can indicate the type of host family you are looking for for your daughter.

      The host families are carefully selected and regularly monitored by the schools themselves. They are experienced in hosting foreign students and work with the schools on a regular basis. By homestay, we mean either a complete family, a couple or a single adult without children.
