Finding accommodation in Paris is never easy. Between the administrative paperwork, the language barrier, or the disparity in rents, the difficulty can seem too great.
Our team takes into account your criteria (distance from your place of study/work, dietary restrictions, allergies…) and takes care of finding you the host family that is right for you!
20 years of experience with students.
Each year, 1,000 students from 68 countries.
Quality accommodation, close to public transport.
Carefully selected for their quality of welcome.
Personalized support from an experienced team
The hosts we work with are carefully selected for their integrity and the quality of the welcome they offer. All the hosts have subscribed to our Quality Charter which guarantees you the best possible stay and an irreproachable level of hygiene and comfort. They are committed to providing you with the best possible experience in Paris!
We know all of our families personally and each apartment is visited before we start working with a host. Our families live in Paris or the very close suburbs (always near a metro station). When you choose to stay in a homestay, you fill out a very detailed questionnaire that allows us to get to know you better and to offer you a homestay that is tailored to your needs.
The formulas proposed range from simple accommodation to half board according to the students’ requests and the families’ wishes. We offer self-service breakfasts and shared dinners for a language immersion.
The length of stay with our hosts is flexible, from two weeks to several months. You can choose to stay in a homestay during your training at the Alliance Française or anticipate your arrival to take the time to discover Paris first! We are here to help you through every obstacle you may encounter in your accommodation.
The principle of homestay is to live in harmony with others.
If you prefer to remain independent from your host’s activities and pace, that’s perfectly possible!
I wanted to thank you for all that you have done for me during these 3 months. I am sure that my stay in France would not have been so pleasant if I had not lived with you. I know you are often busy but you always found time to talk with me. I consider our dinners together a special time where we discuss anything: history, politics, news, life...
Thank you for sharing all your stories with me. I admire your optimism, kindness and openness of spirit.
I never thought that hosting these American students would be so rewarding. A pleasure to have the exchanges and the relationship with our current student.
Another excellent choice, bravo and thank you.
I wanted to thank you again for your help in finding me a new host family while I was in Paris. My host mother and her sons were so welcoming. I didn't want to go back home at the end of the semester. I still can't believe that I got to spend 4 months in the best city in world. I hope that I will get the chance to go back after this pandemic is over.
I look forward to staying in touch.
I was very happy to welcome Matt and his friend James. They both fit in very well. They are friendly, funny, smart and very well behaved boys! It was a real pleasure to have them at home.
I am glad that this little stay has given Matt the desire to continue studying French and maybe do some of his studies in Paris.
I am sending you a note to thank you for placing Erin with this host family. Living in the room she occupied, sharing meals and stories with the family made her stay in Paris unforgettable. I was very lucky enough to visit Erin during her stay. They are such a lovely family, and I immediately felt at home.
Thank you for making this semester as comfortable as you did. I can't imagine that placing students with families is an easy task.
