Accommodation

During this surf camp, you will stay in a house in Biarritz. In that house, you will share your daily life with a French family. There are some rules that need to be respected. The first is that the family should be notified of any change regarding meals or overnight absences. The second is that the accommodation contract is personal. You cannot invite anyone to stay the night. Therefore, you must obtain permission from the family if you want to invite someone during the day. The last rule is that a set of keys will be given to you upon your arrival. Any loss or breakage will be at your expense.

Students up to 19 are hosted in shared rooms. Generally, there are one to three students in a family.

Students who choose this type of accommodation have as main objective, to share and exchange experiences with a French family and, above all, speaking French, which further improves learning. The suggested accommodation includes a bed (single or double), wardrobe, a table and chair for studies. Depending on the time of year, rooms for children under 18 can be double or possibly triple.

There are half board options, where breakfast and dinner is provided, and also full board, with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Transfers for students' arrival and departure are included in the family's obligations, as well as transportation and guidance on how to get to school on the first day of school.

Program

In general, Biarritz French Course Institute will start your day with a language level test and French course in the morning. Then, you will have your surfing lessons in the afternoon. Biarritz French Course Institute will provide you with boards and wetsuits. Moreover, you will be taught by government certified professional surf instructors. They will adapt to your level and allow you to improve your surfing skills throughout your stay. Your surfing spots and schedules will depend on tides and weather.

Location

This surf camp will take place in Biarritz, France. It is known as the surf world for its good waves and natural beauty. In the 19th century, under the realm of Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie, Biarritz became the most prestigious seaside resort on the Atlantic coast. Until today, it remains a favorite holiday destination.

The historical heart of this cultural hub is so ideally situated on the Atlantic coast at the foot of the Pyrenees and so close to the Spanish border. There are some iconic sites in Biarritz. They include Villa Eugenie or Hotel du Palais, the Art Deco Casino, the Russian Orthodox Church, Chapelle Imperiale, and Port-Vieux. On the other hand, Biarritz has famous beaches such as plage du Miramar, la Grande Plage, le Port Vieux, la Cote des Basques, la plage de Marbella, and la plage de Milady.
