These homes are often between 15 - 30 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

An area very easy to access thanks to metros, trams and buses, it is in this very lively area that you will find shopping streets, theatres and cultural places. Cooking and gastronomy are essential to Lyon’s image, but the identity of this city is a lot more complex and interesting.
Lyon is also a city where the architecture has developed in surprising ways. A stroll by the Saône river banks will make you discover buildings with multiple colours, that makes this urban scenery an enchantment suspended in time. The impressive Place Bellecour, in the heart of Lyon’s central peninsula has nothing to envy to Paris’s great squares. The splendid Fourvière Hill with its beautiful neo-gothic basilica overlooks the entire city and offers a breath-taking panorama over the valley between the two rivers, Le Rhône and La Saône. A must see!
Lyon is a real metropolis, cosmopolitan, cultural and historic place with a vibrant student life. It is also the ancient capital of the Roman Gaul, ancestor of modern France. The history of the city is as rich as it is ancient and will captivate the lovers of French and Antic history.
