Accommodation in Paris


Host families

Staying with a host family is undoubtedly the best way to get to know a country, its customs and its people. What's more, your progress in French will be much greater if you continue to speak French outside the classroom.


Choosing homestay means:

  • Simplifying your pre-departure formalities (booking accommodation, obtaining accommodation certificate)
  • Choose to live in the center of Paris (all accommodation is located in Paris and accessible by metro from the ILCF)
  • Enjoy your studies and Parisian life at your own pace
  • Immerse yourself in the language and culture by sharing the life of a French family

A choice of formulas:

  • Location Room rental only (no meals with the family)
  • Breakfast package: the family provides you with everything you need to prepare your breakfast.
  • Half-board package (3, 5 or 7 dinners), the family provides you with breakfast and you dine with the family 3, 5 or 7 evenings a week.
