Nice is a large, popular city and language students must allow for a commute of approx. 15 to 40 mins to college each morning.

Please note : The summer months are particularly busy, demand is high, so early bookings are strongly recommended.

French families/ private households

Can be booked on a single or shared room* basis with half-board#

Hosts offering half-board live in apartments in and around the city and may have more than one student staying with them at a time. They are normally French couples, divorcees or widows who are happy to host foreign students and can provide a welcoming environment and the opportunity for social conversation each day. The French hosts will collect you from the airport/station on arrival, free of charge (if at reasonable hour and CESA has been advised of your travel details with reasonable notice) but students make their own way back to Nice airport, at the end of the course.
Please note: During the summer the younger students are taught on the second Summer college site, and accommodation is arranged with hosts closer to the relevant college site.

* shared rooms available if staying with a friend or for younger students, the French school in Nice will be happy to try and pair you up with another student of a similar age in the late Spring/summer months
# half-board basis = breakfast and evening meal with local hosts
