This friendly retired couple welcomes international students into their home in Lyon’s 2nd arrondissement, right in the city centre. Their apartment is located on a quiet street, offering students both a peaceful home environment and easy access to everything Lyon has to offer.
The couple enjoys reading, music and horse riding. Music is an important part of their life, and the host enjoys playing both the guitar and harmonica. They offer a warm environment for students who would like to experience everyday French life and practise their French through conversation and shared moments.
The apartment is spacious and full of character, with traditional wooden floors and comfortable shared living areas, as shown in the photos.
The student has a comfortable bedroom equipped with a queen-size bed, bedside table, small desk, sofa, chest of drawers and clothes rack. The room also benefits from a private shower, and Wi-Fi is available in the apartment.
One of the main advantages of this homestay is its location. Perrache train station is only a 3-minute walk away, providing immediate access to the metro, tram, buses and trains. This makes the home particularly convenient for international students who want to explore Lyon and travel easily to their university or school.
This homestay is an excellent choice for a student looking for a central location, independence and the opportunity to share authentic French daily life with welcoming hosts.
