At Go! Go! France, we understand the challenges of securing safe, comfortable, and affordable accommodation in an unfamiliar environment. That’s why we’ve developed a streamlined process to make accommodation booking easier, quicker, and worry-free. Here’s how we do it.
Trusted partners
We’ve partnered with two renowned online booking platforms, Uniplaces and HousingAnywhere, to offer you an extensive selection of accommodations. These platforms specialize in student housing, featuring verified listings that cater to various preferences and budgets. By working with these trusted partners, we ensure that you have access to reliable and high-quality options.
Our partnership with these platforms allows you to explore and compare multiple options in one place, simplifying the decision-making process.
Accommodation options available
Finding the right accommodation is essential for a comfortable and successful stay in France. Here are popular housing options we can help you with:
- Student residences: Located on campus or in town, student residences are often the most affordable option.
- Private apartments: Private apartments are the best option when it comes to privacy and having your own space.
- Share house: Share houses offer a good balance between quality and price and gives you a chance to make more friends.
- Homestay: Staying with a local family is the most immersive experience and often a good solution for those looking to improve their French skills quickly.
Find a room in a shared space or a private apartment
To make things easier for you, we’ve integrated an accommodation finder directly into our website. This tool acts as a gateway to the listings from Uniplaces and HousingAnywhere, allowing you to search for accommodations tailored to your needs. With a few clicks, you can filter options based on location, budget, and type of housing.
The accommodation finder streamlines your search by:
- Consolidating listings from our partners in one place
- Offering intuitive filters to narrow down your choices
- Providing quick access to detailed descriptions and photos of each property
- Easily visualize the location of each property on an interactive map, helping you find accommodations near your university or other points of interest
- Check real-time availability to ensure your preferred dates are open
By using our accommodation finder, you save time and avoid the hassle of navigating multiple websites.
Find a host family
If you’re looking for something specific, like a host family arrangement, we’ve got you covered. Our partnerships with language schools include connections with local families who welcome international students into their homes.
Staying with a host family is a popular choice for those who:
- Want to immerse themselves in French culture and language
- Want to improve their French skills in a natural and supportive setting
- Need meals and other amenities provided as part of their stay
- Enjoy the security and guidance of having someone familiar with the area to assist you
Each host family has been thoroughly visited and approved by the schools we partner with. Their rigorous vetting process ensures high standards of safety, comfort, and hospitality. Families are chosen based on their genuine interest in cultural exchange and their ability to provide a nurturing environment. This means students can feel reassured that their host family will be trustworthy, kind, and committed to making their stay enjoyable.
