The Academy is in a glittering palace, probably newer and brighter than the medieval Hogwarts Castle; there's no armour in the halls. The food is, apparently, delicious but much lighter than the food served at Hogwarts. Students are serenaded while they dine by choirs of wood nymphs. Beauxbatons is Unplottable, so no Muggles or even wizards from rival schools can find it on a map, and it is like disguised so no one can really see it unless they know to look for it. The Academy has existed for over seven hundred years.
