Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying French in Paris. These homes are often between 20 - 45 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 18+. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about student residence accommodation
It is possible to live in a rented apartment during your study in Paris, but this tends to be more expensive. IH Paris provides some assistance with apartment rentals or you can rent an apartment on your own. Learn more about apartment housing
