If you are thinking about an English language homestay for your child but you are not sure if they are ready to go all the way to the UK, you might be pleasantly surprised to hear that an equally authentic homestay experience could be much closer to home. Meet the Jones family, a welcoming and experienced host family of four, who are English, but living in the South West of France. We met up with Rebecca, Mark, Milly (13) and Lola (10), to find out more.
Rebecca... tell us, how does an English family end up living in France?

If you were to sit down and write a wish-list of characteristics you were looking for in a French language homestay host, we’re guessing that the Grigoriou-Gratton family, who have welcomed many Lingoo guests over the last few years, would tick every single one of your boxes.
We recently joined the family for dinner at their lovely home in downtown Bordeaux (incidentally Lonely Planet’s number one city to visit in 2017) to find out what makes them great hosts for young people seeking a language exchange or homestay experience.
Bienvenue! Meet the Family
