Immersion in a French host family
Living with a host family provides a unique chance to deeply engage with a new culture. Our host families, as varied as our participants, are meticulously chosen for this experience. We put significant effort into pairing students with families by considering their profiles, personalities, and mutual interests, guaranteeing a pleasant and enriching stay. This approach not only boosts cultural appreciation but also creates enduring bonds and memories that will last forever.
