Located in the Palace of Beauxbatons near Cannes in Southern France, it is unplottable on any map to keep it safe from muggles and rival schools.<br/><br/>Beauxbatons is an academy that highly values its reputation, and provides schooling that focuses more on culture and how to deal with problems diplomatically instead of teaching its students to first resort to hexes and curses. The school itself is much bigger than its sister schools; Hogwarts and Durmstrang. It is almost always brightly lit, and looks like it was just recently established.<br/><br/>There are three mansions within the academy, in which students are sorted when they start their first year. A sorting cloak is used to place students. However, if a student is unhappy with the mansion they are placed into they may request to be placed in a different mansion by asking the head of the mansion they were sorted into. Though, it is requested that the student at least try to stay in the mansion they were sorted to.</div>
