Description

A warm and experienced host family in Lyon

This welcoming homestay is located in Lyon’s 5th arrondissement, in a bright and comfortable 83 m² apartment. The host is a mother of four grown-up children who no longer live at home, offering international students a friendly and peaceful environment in which to experience everyday French life.

She enjoys bridge, spending time with friends, walking and swimming, and has studied at the Catholic University of Lyon (UCLy). She has previous experience welcoming international students, including American students, and particularly appreciates the companionship and cultural exchange that hosting provides.

The apartment has three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and Wi-Fi. The student’s private bedroom is comfortably furnished with a single bed, desk and chair, dresser and shelving, providing a practical space for both studying and relaxing. The photos also show a pleasant, bright living and dining area with large windows and a welcoming atmosphere.

The home is well connected to central Lyon. The nearest bus stop is approximately 10 minutes away on foot, with Perrache station around 20 minutes away by public transport, making it convenient for students studying in different parts of the city.

This homestay would be particularly suitable for an independent student looking for a calm, comfortable home and an experienced host while discovering Lyon and French culture.

For reasons of confidentiality, we cannot publish pictures of the family and the house front. If you are interested in the family, we can send you photos once contact is established. 


About 5th district

The 5th district of Lyon represents the historical part of the city with its distinct neighborhoods such as Saint-Jean and its cathedral, Saint Paul and Saint Georges which are categorized as ‘Old city’, Saint Just, Fourvière and the Basilica which dominates and protects the city. There are still several traces of the city’s roman past, in particular the Gallo-Roman theatre. This area is very touristy and possesses an Italian renaissance feel with its passageways. It can be a very pleasant lifestyle as long as you do not mind animated nightlife or using stairs regularly as not many elevators exist in the buildings here. Also, it is easier not to have a car as parking is difficult. Check our other rooms in 5th district
