French + Surf
Looking for a thrill? Surf Biarritz’s world-famous waves! Cosmopolitan and lively, Biarritz is a must-see destination for surfers. Ideal for thrill-seekers who live to the rhythm of the Atlantic Ocean.
Biarritz, a surfing paradise!
Surfing is a complete discipline that can be practiced from an early age. The only requirement is that you know how to swim!
The Côte des Basques beach in Biarritz is a perfect surfing spot for all levels. Just a few minutes’ walk from the town center, the beach is framed by cliffs, with breathtaking views of Spain and the mountains.
At low tide, the waves are small and long, ideal for beginners.
At high tide, the beach disappears to make way for the waves, which become stronger and sometimes form rollers, allowing the most seasoned riders to enjoy glides worthy of the greatest champions.
You benefit from 5 afternoon lessons of 1h30/week – times vary according to the tides.
Surf lessons take place on the famous Côte des Basques beach, a 5-minute walk from the school, and on the beaches of Anglet.
On the 1st day, an instructor will pick you up at the school and take you to the beach. On subsequent days, you’ll go on your own. Depending on weather conditions, surf lessons may be moved to other beaches, in which case transportation will be provided.
French courses take place from Monday to Friday mornings at our school, on the basis of 20 lessons per week.
Following a placement test, you will be directed to the most appropriate class according to your level of French and your objectives. Classes are international and exclusively taught in French by experienced teachers with degrees in French as a foreign language. Group classes are limited to a maximum of 12 people, to give everyone more time to speak and encourage conversation and exchange.
Les ateliers FL have set up an online placement test, to be taken before your arrival, to assess your knowledge of written comprehension and production. This test will be supplemented by an oral interview on the first day of class to :
Evaluation during the stay
At Les ateliers FL every Friday, you will be assessed by your teacher to check that your progress is consistent and in line with the rest of the group.

In addition, you benefit from personalized support to help you go further in your learning of the French language and culture, by working on your personal and professional learning objectives and needs.
At the end of your program, the school will issue you with an end-of-session certificate stating the number of hours attended and the level reached.
