Thousands of British expats living in France have an opportunity to turn their spare bedrooms into a source of income.
The opportunity comes in the shape of French students under the age of 18 who are learning English. Many are willing to pay to stay in the home of a native English speaker to improve their language skills intensively.
Host families charge for food and accommodation. Optional extras, such as tuition, day trips and sports activities, are priced accordingly. Qualified English teachers charge a premium for structured lessons.
