host family in paris

Staying with a family (or at one individual's home) has become very successful among foreigners. Since the homestay option has been developed over a long period of time and it is now known throughout the world, it is becoming more and more popular in Paris, for several reasons:
• Parisians want to have their city discovered
• Hotel prices have gone up a lot and accommodations with a host family are a good alternative


Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Our homestay families will help you discover and understand the beauty and richness of French culture for an unforgettable stay in Paris.



Our host families are carefully selected: we know them all and we require from all of them a capability to have interesting exchanges with their guest: he is considered as a friend of the family's.

  • Available all year round.
  • Learn about French culture and practice your French.
  • The majority of our host familes live in downtown Paris, some of them in the suburbs ( close to all points of interest and main attractions in Paris )
  • Very reasonable rates ( from 23 euros/night or 560 euros/month....)
  • High quality of accommodation (very spacious apartment or house - more than 100 m2)
  • Very safe neighborhood (the majority of our homestay families live in the west end of Paris :8e, 15e,16e and 17e arrondissement)
  • The available rooms are in very well-located apartments or houses near  many universities and languages schools ( between 5 and 15mn by subway ). In the case of the host families living in the suburbs, it takes between 20 and 40mn by train or metro.
  • Experienced host families( between 5 and 20 years of experience )
  • A single room in selected host families.
  • Choose your meal plan.
  • One student per linguistic background per family.

    A key will be given to you on arrival. In case of loss or theft, it will be your responsibility to have it replaced and the lock repaired or even changed as the case might be.
