About the school

We recommend you choose to stay in the optional accommodation offered with these photography courses or in the near vicinity of the beautiful coastal village of Vieux-Boucau-Les-Bains.

Vieux-Boucau-Les-Bains boasts beautiful wide beaches, and a sea water lake and is just 40 minutes from Biarritz airport and 1.5 hours from Bordeaux.

Your photography lessons will see you travel around the area of Les Landes, a beautiful and largely unspoiled stretch of coastline on the Bay of Biscay between Bordeaux and Biarritz, just before France becomes Spain.

The largest forest area in Europe, and a protected National Park, Les Landes also offers wide, endless sandy beaches and unbelievable skies, high sand dunes overlooking hundreds of miles of pine forest, dozens of large salt and freshwater lakes and of course the immense power and presence of the mighty Atlantic ocean - a perfect setting for your ocean photography course.

Although most of your time is spent outside putting your photograhy lessons into practice, you will also spend a little time back at the school's well equipped office at the state of the art digital workstations learning how to use photoshop and much more.
