At Christmas time the dining hall is adorned with great, non-melting ice sculptures. Students are serenaded while they dine by choirs of wood nymphs. The food at Beauxbatons, at least according to Fleur, is delicious, but much lighter than the food served at Hogwarts. Both Hogwarts and Durmstrang are in castles however, Fleur Delacour described Beauxbatons as a palace. The Academy is a glittering palace, most probably newer and brighter than the Hogwarts castle. The Beauxbatons uniform is light blue and dress-like unlike the Hogwarts uniform which are wizard robes. The school champion was Fleur Delacour, who was unsuccessful in her challenge for the Triwizard Cup.

From October until the end of the school year, the entire delegation stayed on Hogwarts grounds, sleeping and presumably studying inside the coach, and eating in the Hogwarts Great Hall. The Gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid took care of the winged horses. The horses also were golden-colored, with red eyes, and fed on single-malt whiskey. The carriage door was embossed with the golden coat of arms and opened to reveal golden steps. The group arrived in a pastel blue coach pulled by twelve huge, winged horses. During the 1994–1995 school year, a delegation of senior Beauxbatons students and their Headmistress stayed near Hogwarts Castle in Scotland to participate in a new Triwizard Tournament. The Academy has existed for over seven hundred years. Beauxbatons is similar to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
