Flights

Students will be collected from Bordeaux Airport by Danièle or our driver Michel and driven to the house (located approximately one hour away from the airport). There are regular flights from the UK to Bordeaux with EasyJet and British Airways.

Please note that we ask that parents and students do their utmost to book flights to arrive between 10am and 3pm. However we do understand that this is not always possible and we can collect outside of those times.

Students should arrive at Bordeaux Airport on the first day of their course and depart on the last day so as not to overlap with other courses. All students will be driven to the airport at the end of their course and seen safely on to the plane. Airline websites that may be of use:
