What Does a Typical French Home Look Like?
During Greenheart Travel’s Teach in a Homestay program and High School Abroad program in France, participants live with a host family in an authentic & local French home! All our host families are volunteers, opening their homes simply because they are interested and invested in the cultural exchange experience.
France is a big country, with lots of regional diversity. Every home is different and unique, just like it is in your home country! It can be hard to picture how families live in other countries, so we asked our past participants to share photos of their homestay homes in France. As you can see from the photos below, there is a wide variety of different types homes. These are only a small example of the accommodation you might experience while living in France!
Our alumni shared photos of their apartments and homes so here’s a glimpse of what you can expect in France!

How many rooms are usually in a french house?
When it comes to decorating, the French already have a leg up on us. Working with centuries of beautiful, intricate architectural details and family heirlooms, it doesn t take much to make a space look (and feel) special and cool. But we don t call French decor effortless for no reason—most often these cool, curated spaces are formed over the years through accumulation and an understanding of important architecture and design movements, rather than through the careful planning of an interior designer.

Hi, Tara! We don’t know the price of homes in France. We provide opportunities for people to live in French host homes during a study or teach abroad program.

Hi Sharon! That’s great to hear that you are interested in going to France. We do not offer any programs where you rent your own room. We do offer a homestay program which you can learn about here: https://greenhearttravel.org/program/adult/teach-homestay/france-language-homestay
Wow. Great job. Thanks for doing this!!
