We recommend that you proceed as quickly as possible. In order to find the family that best matches your needs, we suggest that you contact us while you are doing your school registration.
- How will I pay ?
To get started, return the application form . We will open a file for you, and start to search for a family that best matches your wishes. Then, we will send you an email with some informations about the host family that we have found ( location, price, description of the host family etc.. ). Short stay: you will have to pay a deposit. Long stay: you will have to pay the registration fees. After your payment, we will send you all the remaining informations about the host family( name, email, telephone number etc.. ). On your arrival, you will pay the host family directly.
- What if I don't' feel comfortable with my family...
In case of any misunderstanding, we will find a new family for you as soon as possible . Of course we will not charge you for this service. Please note that sometimes all the host families are already booked and you will have to wait a while before we find a new family for you.
If there is a problem, please tell us immediately. Don’t be afraid ! Please note that if you don’t follow the requirements of your host family, they can also ask us to find a new family for you !
- Will I have the keys ?
Of course ! You’ll be absolutely free to come and go as you please and it’s important for your family that you feel at home. If you arrive home late (or very early !) please try to be as quiet as possible ! Be very careful ! Don’t lose your keys or you’ll have to pay for a new lock (and it can be very expensive…)
