Summer Homestay Immersion in France

Staying with a French family in France: an truly genuine French adventure

If you are considering spending your summer in France, improving your language skills and immersing yourself in the culture, our Summer Homestay Immersion in France is the perfect choice for you!

This program in France is designed for students who wish to improve their French skills while interacting with native speakers rather than attending traditional classes. Our French host families are volunteers and are interested in welcoming international students into their homes and encouraging them to participate in the daily routines of the French families. Students must remain adaptable and receptive as our families have varying social and economic backgrounds.

Key points of the summer French immersion program: 

• Students are matched with French host families who volunteer to host them in various locations throughout France.
• You have the option to select the duration and dates (arrival and departure on weekends).
• You will have a chance to directly experience French culture and enhance language communication skills constantly.
• Regardless of the location of the French host family, the student will always find wonderful things to explore and appreciate.
• After being approved for this Homestay in France, you can purchase your flights to Paris (either CDG or Orly)!
  

As a new member of the family, you are encouraged to join in on the everyday activities of your host family in France. The main objective of the summer homestay experience in France is to become a part of the French host family. Nonetheless, French host families are not obligated to plan particular activities, tours, or trips. This means you will participate in their daily holiday schedule, which could involve:

• to watch a movie at the cinema
• engage in playing tabletop games.
• visit the swimming pool.
• engage in physical activities.
• go on some trips and tours.
• create some handmade items.
  
• spend time with family or friends.
• go to a restaurant
  

You bring your own money to pay for the activities during your French homestay.
Your French host family aims to provide you with an exceptional summer homestay experience in France and anticipates forming a lasting friendship with you!

Accommodation

You have been invited to live with a French host family in France, and all your meals will be taken care of.
Our host families in France are volunteers and enthusiastic about sharing their way of life with a young visitor from another country. The primary idea behind the French summer homestay program is to share and interchange ideas, cultures, languages, and customs! What motivates them? Showcase their culture, help you with French abilities, and introduce their children to foreign languages and diverse cultures in a natural manner!

Our French exchange students stay with host families in France for a few weeks, hoping to build long-lasting friendships during their time together. They are enthusiastic about sharing not only their language but also their everyday life with someone who is eager to participate. They are hopeful that you will spend as much time as possible with them, chatting, and participating in activities together. Don't remain in your bedroom! 

Our French host families place value on cross-cultural communication.
