Lodging in a host family

All the families with whom we work are carefully selected. They are regularly visited and we have worked with certain families for a number of years. We would strongly recommend this form of accommodation.

The family prepares an individual, comfortable and practical room . They come to meet you from the station or the airport at La Rochelle, do a tour of town, show you the methods of transport  for you to get around, go to the school and indicate to you the sites to visit and sometimes can accompany you. They are always available to help and to advise you.

You can share breakfast and an evening meal with the family which will help you to improve your linguistic skills and exchange your experiences and ideas.

This cohabitation reveals itself to be an enriching experience as well as linguistic and cultural and you will remember it with pleasure.
