The Academy's grounds and buildings are often called the Palace, and for good reason. Beauxbatons Academy sits upon nine acres of land in an undisclosed location in the south of France, and overlooks a cliff, giving a spectacular view.
The Academy has a large, rectangular, man-made lake just outside the entrance, which is home to a very large swan, named Clarence.
The gardens are famous and extremely vast, home to a variety of flower and plant specimens. While these gardens are cared for primarily by fairies and by sprites, it gets a helping hand from the Academy's grounds and gamekeeper, Rèmy Vieuxpont, who tends to the stables and also helps to teach horseback riding as an extracurricular class. In the past there have also been courts for various kinds sports.
The main building is lavish, with exquisite architecture and very wide windows.
One enters into the entrance hall, and is quickly faced with two spiral staircases leading up to the next floor.
To the right, one will find the dining hall and kitchens
To the left are the reception parlour and the student gallery.
The Infirmary can be found on the second floor of the main building
The third and fourth floors are reserved almost entirely for classrooms, as well as the library on the third.
The offices and quarters for the Directrice (Headmistress) and the Adjoint-Directeur (Deputy Headmistress) may also be found on these floors.
L'Aile Est, or the East Wing, is home to the Culinary Labs, on the basement level; dueling block, on the first floor; studio spaces on the second and third floors; and classrooms on the fourth floor.
