Imagine studying in France, on the Atlantic Coast

By choosing the Flex - Atlantic Coastline programme, you will have you adventure in western France, near the Atlantic Ocean and in the vicinity of famous cities including Brest, Nantes, Bordeaux and Biarritz.

This area of France is known for its jaw-dropping cliffs, fine sand beaches and picturesque towns that are reminiscent of the past. Keep your camera at the ready as you savour the retro atmosphere!

The French Atlantic Coast is a hidden treasure combining natural beauty, stunning cities and a rich cultural heritage. This coastal stretch, extending from the border with Spain in the south all the way up to Brittany, benefits from the oceanic influences that help keep this side of France airy and cool even during the summer months.

Several port towns are scattered all along the coast, which is known for its significant importance as a landing place during the Roman Empire era. For this reason, wherever you end up on the coast, you will always find a body of water closeby.

Amongst the most notable centres on the Atlantic coast, it would be impossible not to mention Nantes, Jule Verne's native town and a neo-classical gem, sprinkled with impressive Gothic cathedrals. Bordeaux is also worth mentioning - this is the city after which one of the world's most famous red wines is named, as well as being the sixth most populous city in France. Bordeaux's town centre has been a World Heritage Site since 2007, truly a must-see!

In addition to being a beautiful area, the Atlantic coastline is also one of the best areas in Europe to enjoy fresh seafood, which you'll be able to savour as you watch spectacular sea sunset views.
