Learn French in Biarritz
 French & Surf |
Biarritz lies on the South West Atlantic coast of France, just a few minutes' drive from the Spanish border. The town has long been known as a very 'chic' resort for the rich, but has more recently also gained popularity for its excellent year-round surfing conditions. This is a wonderful location for anyone wishing to learn French in France, whether you do or do not also wish to combine this with surfing. In addition to French courses of 22 or 30 lessons/week, we also offer specific 'French and Surfing' courses, consisting of a French course in the morning plus 10 afternoon surfing lessons with fully-qualified professional instructors, all equipment provided.
