1.Will I be the only student foreigner in the family? You can stipulate it at the time of the inscription in the application form. 2.My host family will be close to my school ? All our host families live in the center of Paris ( between 5 and 15mn by subway to your school ) 3.Can I visit my host family before to confirm my reservation ? No. 4.Is the washing of the clothes is done by the host family ? Yes, usually one time a week. We have to decide this matter with your host family. 5.Is there a discount if two people (a married couple) wish to do a homestay only (no studying) together? No, sorry. 6.How late can I arrive? You can arrive into your family between 18H and 21H 7.What is the maximum age permitted ? There is no maximum age permitted. But there is a minimum age permitted, which is 18 years. 8.How long before do I have to register ? We recommend that you proceed as quick as possible. It is really difficult and expensive to find an accommodation in Paris particularly at the beginning of each term. In order to find the family that best matches your needs, we suggest that you contact us while you are doing your school registration. 9.How will I pay ? To get started, return the application form to us with the administration fees. We can pay on line with PAY PAL or bank transfer .We will open a file for you, and start to search for a family that best matches your wishes. Upon payment, we'll send you the complete file : our invoice, all the details about your host family, the payment schedule and the instructions. Each month, you will pay your family according to the schedule that we will give to you. 10.If I don't' feel comfortable with my family... In any case of misunderstanding, we will find a new family for you as soon as possible . Of course we will not charge you for this service. If there is a problem, please tell us immediately. Don't be afraid ! Please note that your family can also ask us to find a new family for you ! 11.Will I have the keys ? Of course ! You'll be absolutely free to come and go as you please and it's important for your family that you feel at home. If you come back late (or very early !) please try to be as quiet as possible ! Be very careful ! Don't lose your keys or you'll have to pay for a new lock (and it can be very expensive...) 12.Can I decide to stay longer in my family ? Of course if they are still "available". We recommend that you ask as quick as possible your host family .If not, we'll find a new family that again matches your wishes. 13.When will you give me the address of my family ? As soon as your file is complete and upon our last payment, you'll receive all the information about your family, the neighborhood, public transportation etc... 14.I've changed my mind during my stay... I found an other accommodation... You must inform your family 15 days before you leave. 15.What's the purpose of the liability insurance ? In France, it an obligation. It covers all damages in and outside your family's home. It's possible that your school may provide one : ask them (in French it's called "assurance en responsabilité civile"). Caution ! This is not a medical assistance, which only covers your health needs.
