Learn French in Paris College Two
Accommodation in Paris
Paris is fabulous, but as with any capital city it is large, so please allow for a commute of approx. 30 to 40 mins+ to the French langauge school, each day.
Most students stay with local French hosts, but there are a range of residence options, depending on your budget and adult students may also like to consider a local Hotel.
~ French hosts/private households
~ Residence options
~ Hotels
NB: Host availablity can run low over the Summer, when Parisians leave for their holidays but student demand is running high, so early bookings are recommended. Also, early reservations are essential for the residences, especially during the June/September period.
=================================================
Private households:
The hosts have been carefully chosen by the French language school and are located in Paris. They are used to welcoming students and know how to help them familiarize themselves with the French way of life and culture. There will inevitably be a need to commute, generally on foot and by metro each day, please anticipate a daily journey of 20 to 40 minutes to get to school.
The following options are available:
single room & shared room (couple or friends booking together),
B&B, half-board (breakfast and evening meal) or breakfast & kitchen access
Half-board is a good option to give you better opportunity to practice French outside the classroom, but breakfast and kitchen access is also popular, as it gives students a greater degree of freedom and is kinder on the budget. We only recommend B&B option for short stay, as eating out all the time becomes something of a pain.
NB: 17yr olds can stay with hosts, on request, but not in Hotels, apartments etc unless with older members of their family.
