Learn French in France and enjoy great accommodation! In order to help you choose the right type of accommodation for your residential French course in Montpellier, we will give you some guidelines underneath.

Homestay

Staying with a French host family is a unique and rich experience, a real immersion into French life style. You will be able to learn French also when talking to your host. You will have your own room, own key and you are independent up to a certain extent, but you will have to adapt yourself to the family’s meals time and the rules of the home. Showing interest in your hosts and being open minded towards them will help you to integrate quickly during your French language stay in Montpellier. You will benefit the most in fully practicing your French language outside of our French immersion school, and also have an interesting insight into French culture.

We place great importance on reserving the best matching family for you. Our accommodation officer studies each student’s application carefully in order to book a homestay according to your profile. All families are carefully selected and we have good reputation for providing excellent host families.

Student Residences

The student residences are very popular for those who like independency and meeting other students from all around the world during residential French language stays in France. You have your own room including private bathroom and own equipped kitchen (or access to an equipped common kitchen). You prepare your meals yourself or together with other students. You can also enjoy many reasonable priced restaurants and student bars nearby. You will have to respect the rules of the residence, but you are completely independent. Most students staying for their residential French course in Montpellier at the student residence are between 18 and 35 years old, but also some more mature students young at mind chose this option. The atmosphere is lively. You are in close walking distance to our French language school.

If you prefer the idea of mixing during your French language stay in France with other students from all over the world, going out a lot and having independency rather than integrating the household of a local French family, this option should be considered.

Aparthotel

The aparthotels are more upmarket than the student residences and offer higher quality accommodation and services. The aparthotels also provide air conditioned studios with private bathrooms and private kitchens. This type of residence suits the more discerned student looking for independent accommodation for their residential French course in Montpellier.

Hotels

We can book hotels of all categories and price levels. Due to the fact that hotels are relatively expensive compared with the other accommodation offered we only recommend hotels for shorter French language stays.
