About Les ateliers FL Biarritz

A typical French avenue with historic mansions and green birch trees lining the footpaths - that's Avenue de la République.

The school has 10 classrooms housed in a beautiful Basque mansion from 1850, surrounded by a green garden with private swimming pool.

Amazing teachers and welcoming community in Biarritz

"Had such an amazing experience at Les Ateliers FL in Biarritz. Spent a month at the school to prepare for the DELF B2 exam. My teacher during my time was Cyril, a wondurful human who had an incredible teaching method, he was able to squeeze so much into that month but the best thing about Cyril was that he made learning french so much fun. Everyone in our class always talked about how much they love class with Cyril. Everyone at the school is very sweet and kind, it's a lovely community they have built. If you are thinking of studying with them, do it!!! I will definitely be back. Thank you!"

Excellent week in Biarritz with friendly staff and strong lessons

"I had an excellent week studying at FL Biarritz. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my lessons with Cyril. He was a great teacher. There was a good mix of activities throughout the week, and the tasks were really interesting. We had lots of opportunities to speak French and I felt I made good progress. Anais and Guilhem were very helpful with organizing activities and giving advice when needed. The guided tour on the Monday afternoon was a good way to start the week, it helped me to learn more about Biarritz as well as getting to know the other students. We were given some really useful tips of things to do for the rest of the week. The school was very well organized and in a great location in Biarritz."

Tiny classes with tailored lessons at Les Ateliers Biarritz

"My experience at Les Ateliers Biarritz has been fantastic. The class was very small (only one more student in the first week and three in the second week). Our levels were very different. The teachers adapted perfectly, offering us different exercises suitable for each level or adapting the same exercise to our personal levels. So we ended up having practically individual classes. But in a more enjoyable way. Highly recommended!"
