Staying with a host family is a unique intercultural experience that we highly recommend to all our students. You will share unique moments of daily life with your family, practicing your French in real situations.

All our host families are carefully selected by our team and live maximum 40 minutes from the school (the distance varies depending on the city). Each family hosts one or more students with a different mother tongue.

Traveling on your own or with a partner, no matter what you need, we have the option for you. Choose from bed & breakfast, half-board or even full-board, we also offer the room only option for the independent ones.

Living in a host family half board is mandatory if you are underage.

It is recommended, when possible and depending on your flight’s arrival time, to arrive in the family after 6pm on Sundays. Departures are on Saturdays before noon. For arrivals outside these hours, please contact the school: info@les-ateliers.fr
