Accommodation
Host family
ESL personally selects the families in charge of welcoming young students. The students stay in a double room, shared with another participant. This accommodation option is one of the best ways to immerse yourself totally in the culture of the region. In this way, thanks to daily contact with the family, you will learn how to express yourself directly in French and to get to know the mentality and the way of life of the French-speaking Swiss.
Please note: this type of accommodation is best suited to independent students who will be able to get to the school on their own using public transport.
