Home Stay

I’ll be in Rennes, France for about 5 weeks this summer with a homestay family. I’ll also be taking day trips to places like Paris, Versailles, Mont St. Michel, etc. What should I pack, and what are some tips for homestaying with a French family?

Thanks so much!

Most important, learn some French if you have not done so already. If only Good morning, hello, goodbye and thank you.
It breaks the ice, shows you are willing to try French and depending on your accent, fail utterly or are worth redeeming. In 5 weeks they will teach you way more and your accent will improve.

For a home stay, bring the kind of clothes you would bring when staying with a grandparent or older aunt, jeans, T-shirts but also a few nice outfits for dinner out.

Brittany can be cool and wet, but also sunny and hot, so bring clothes for both kinds of weather, including swimming gear and sports shorts if you are part of a group that might have a sports day included. Swimming shorts in France are tight, wide boxer shorts are not allowed in the pool, as too many people wear them all day and they are considered dirty.
And do not forget a sweater and a rain jacket.

You do not need to bring enough clothes for 5 weeks, they will do laundry for you.

Casa De Mirita is not a hotel or apartment, but rather an opportunity to stay with a family in Cajamarca, Peru. We enjoyed our two nights here with Vicky, Mirita, and Vicky’s daughter Dianna.

If you are looking for an apartment or hotel during your stay in Cajamarca, why not live with a family instead and experience Peru as Peruvians experience Cajamarca, Peru?

Look inside and around this wonderful Indian Homestay in Kerala.

In the Thatampally district of Alleppey town itself, Pierce Residency is an elegant house in a leafy residential street. It is just 5 minutes walk from a canal where houseboats cruise through on their way to the backwaters. Mr. and Mrs. Vinod are the hosts, who live with their two children and grandparents in the house; they are a charming traditional family who enjoy going to Alleppeys long white sand beach (2km away), watching Hindi films together and playing badminton. The family goes back 5 generations in Alleppey and are the perfect guides for a visitor wanting to do more than just the tourist trails; they can give an insight into the city from a locals point of view.
