Lodging

For your stay in Montréal, we suggest three types of lodging. It is important to reserve your lodging for at least one day before and after the program dates (see the program features for dates).You are in no way limited to the three lodging suggestions below. You can, of course, find many other lodging options on the internet. Choose the option that best suits you. All prices indicated below are in Canadian dollars. Currency converter

You’ll have to make your own arrangements to book the accommodation that’s right for you. Whatever your choice, be sure to choose a place relatively close to HEC Montréal (3000 Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Quebec, H3T 2A7, Canada). Google Maps

Stay with a host family

Staying with a French-speaking host family is one of the most popular options among those participating in a French immersion program. There are many advantages to this option, such as:

  • Improved speaking: Staying with a French-speaking family will provide more opportunities to practice your French. You will be able to chat with your host family during meals, if included in your package, and during day-to-day activities, which will help you feel more confident when speaking French.
  • Cultural experience: Staying with a host family will give you a deeper understanding of Francophone Quebecois culture. You will take part in day-to-day life, experience traditions and customs, and discover new perspectives and ways of life.
  • Cost effective: Life with a host family is generally less expensive than renting an apartment or hotel room. If you choose to have meals included, you will save even more.

Staying with a French-speaking host family is an enriching experience that will fully immerse you in the language and culture, if you truly wish to improve your French in a way that is truly authentic.
