Host families sought for French exchange students
Atlanta-area host families needed for french students for 20 days in July — no French language skills necessary. Twenty-five French teens, who speak English and are from professional French families (ages 14-18), want to come to the Atlanta area but needs a host family who will provide the necessary hospitality and friendship. These French teens, from Paris to Provence, speak English and want to experience American life first-hand. Linda Farmer, a retired French teacher, along with a French chaperon, will oversee the program. LEC (Loisirs Culturels à l’étranger), the Paris-based sponsor, provides students with comprehensive medical insurance and gives host families compensation for room and board.
All come with ample spending money for expenses outside of the home and each has had three to six years of English depending on age. An excursion bus will take the French teens on sightseeing trips once per week while they are here.
