Hosting Léa for three weeks was an unforgettable adventure for our entire family. Our two children, ages 3 and 6, had already been exposed to French culture, but living day-to-day with a French student made this experience so much more real and meaningful.

Hosting Eliot this summer transformed our vacation into a memorable adventure. We didn't expect to create such a strong bond in such a short time.

I was nervous about hosting Faustine. As a single, older woman, I wondered if I could offer her a memorable experience. But from the moment she arrived — on the evening of her 17th birthday, which also happened to be Bastille Day! — I knew these three weeks would be exceptional.

Small or large, in a house or apartment: we are looking for open families, ready to welcome, exchange and share their culture with other families from around the world.
