Host Family

Discover life in a French family! This form of accommodation goes hand in hand with rapid progress in French.

At ELFE, we have a privileged relationship with our host families: Some began welcoming our students in 1984 when ELFE was created, and their children continue to this day. Some are well known throughout the world!

We are in daily personal contact with them, with no middleman or accommodation agency.
This is not simply a bed and breakfast. The contribution we ask for to stay in a host family gives you certain rights, but you will really be welcomed into their homes, and that means a certain duty on your part. This is an integral part of your stay in Paris.

Students receive a warm welcome from Parisian families carefully chosen by us, and eager to impart our language and way of life.

Students have an individual room within apartments located in residential areas of Paris and adjacent suburbs.

We propose two accommodation options:
- Room + breakfast
- Room + half-board (breakfast and dinner)

With « standard » formula or « executive » formula (private bath or shower room).

The weekend is also on a basis of half-board, as the students are generally off discovering the Parisian region.
