Located in Southern France just southeast of Marseilles, where the Alpine foothills met the Mediteranean coast, Beauxbatons Academy is of course hidden from muggle eyes with many charms and incantations.

There are stables on the school grounds to house Madame Maxime’s Abraxon horses that are used to take the students to and from school each year. There is a river that flows through the grounds of the school and a waterfall just on the edge of the property.

The school itself is much like a beautiful palace from the outside as well as the inside with marble floors and rich carpeting making everyone that enters feel privileged just to be attending. There are six floors in total to the palace and classrooms can be found on the second, third, fourth and fifth levels on the East side. On the West side of the castle the third to the sixth is the library.

Since the school is located so far south there is little use for fires and the students wear light robes all year round.
