French students seeking Atlanta host families in July

A French cultural and educational group is seeking families in Atlanta to host French teenagers, 14 to 18 years old, for three weeks in July.

Loisirs Culturels à l’étranger, which has a history of working in metro Atlanta, provides comprehensive medical insurance and host families receive a stipend for room and board. The students speak English and have their own spending money. The students will take a weekly sightseeing trip during their stays from July 7-27. Families will be expected to provide hospitality and friendship. Linda Farmer of Atlanta, a retired French teacher, along with a French chaperon, oversee the program.
