Our school is strategically located in downtown Biarritz, and language classes are held in a small manor surrounded by a park: the perfect place to study and make new friends. Magellan Study Abroad is proud to offer classes in this exclusive destination as this renowned language school is available to no other study abroad company from the U.S. Students will have the unique opportunity to study exclusively with international students from Europe and other parts of the world. Activities centered on the arts and exciting excursions round out an unbelievable two weeks in this surf capital of France, but wait…there’s more!
Recall your first night in France, as you prepare for more adventures in one of the most visited cities in the world. For the next week, you will return to Paris to savor all that it has to offer. Homestay will be replaced with a centrally located student residence. From this unique vantage point, traverse the city and witness first hand Europe’s most recognized monuments and the world’s most renowned museum. What excites you the most? Will it be cruising down the River Seine, climbing the magical Tour Eiffel, or viewing the Mona Lisa at the Musée du Louvre? Versailles, anyone? Participate in fun workshops and absorb the sights and sounds of this unforgettable City of Lights…one last time before departing home.

Biarritz (pop. 30,000) is one of the principal resorts on the Côte Basque. Originally a quiet village, it was given sudden prominence in the 19th Century by the wife of Napoleon III, Empress Eugénie, who constructed a palace on the beach – it still exists today as a luxury hotel. The town began hosting the parades and entourages accompanying European royalty and nobility, invited by Eugénie to stay at the palace. Today, Biarritz is a dynamic town with spectacular beaches, interesting architecture, quaint cafés and the home of one of Europe’s best surfing sites. Surfers come from all over the world to ride its waves.
Paris (pop. 12,067,000) is the capital of France and the country's largest city. It is situated on the River Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. Paris is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, with over 45 million visitors per year. There are numerous iconic landmarks among its many attractions, along with world-famous institutions and popular parks. Paris' museums and monuments are among its highest-esteemed attractions; tourism has motivated both the city and national government to create new ones. The city's most prized museum, the Louvre, welcomes over 8 million visitors a year, being by far the world's most visited art museum.

You have the option of travelling on the airline of your choice. Since we are based in Los Angeles, some of our local students may choose to travel with one of our teacher chaperones. In that case, we will provide you with the designated flights on which our chaperons will be travelling. Students from outside of Los Angeles may travel directly from their home airport and meet the Program Director and the rest of the group at the designated group destination point. There will be specific arrival and departure windows that must be respected for group pick-up. If your flight arrangements necessitate a personalized airport pick-up that does not coincide with the group pick-up, there may be an extra charge.

A detailed itinerary as well as our Student Orientation Handbook will be made available well in advance of departure to provide travel and packing tips, allowing you time to make the necessary preparations.
