As an agent supporting students pursuing language studies abroad, one of your most important roles is helping them feel confident and prepared when relocating—especially to a vibrant and complex city like Paris.
At ACCORD Paris, we understand that finding suitable student accommodation can be one of the biggest concerns for international students. That’s why we encourage our partner agents to guide students through the process with practical resources and trusted solutions that complement the high-quality experience they’ll receive at our school.
Students coming to ACCORD French Language School for language courses or work-study programmes are often looking for more than just a place to sleep. They need a safe, comfortable, and well-located space that enhances their time in Paris.
One popular option among our students is flat-sharing, which provides both affordability and social connection—key factors for young people living abroad for the first time. A great example is Chez Nestor, a platform that offers pre-furnished, shared apartments across various Parisian districts. It’s ideal for international students thanks to its easy booking system (comparable to reserving a hotel room), multilingual support, and all-inclusive pricing.
By recommending platforms like Chez Nestor to your students, you’re helping them settle in faster, avoid scams, and find a ready-made community in their new city.
When advising students, we recommend prioritizing accommodation that’s conveniently located near ACCORD Paris, which is in the lively 15th arrondissement. This district is one of the most student-friendly in Paris, with plenty of cafés, local shops, restaurants, and reliable metro connections.
The 15th offers a secure environment and beautiful Parisian views (including the Eiffel Tower!)—plus it’s only a short walk from the school. Agents should encourage students to consider this area for its safety, accessibility, and lifestyle benefits.
While Paris is generally safe, students may feel less comfortable in certain districts at night, especially if they are not fluent in French. We advise avoiding recommending accommodations in areas such as:
Parts of the 10th arrondissement (Gare du Nord/Gare de l’Est)
Certain streets in the 18th (outside the popular Montmartre area)
Areas in the 19th, which are great during the day but may feel less welcoming in the evening
Of course, these suggestions aren’t meant to alarm—just to ensure your clients are well-informed and confident in their housing choices.
Our Work Experience Programme gives students the unique opportunity to combine language learning with professional development, making their time in Paris both enriching and practical. Students often report that their housing situation plays a big role in their overall satisfaction, so your guidance as an agent is essential.
We recommend that agents:
Assist students in selecting safe, central locations
Provide links to trusted housing platforms like Chez Nestor
Encourage flat-shares over solo rentals for cost-efficiency and community
Reinforce the importance of proximity to ACCORD for convenience and connection
By working with ACCORD Paris, you’re offering your students more than just classes—you’re helping them create a life-changing experience in one of the world’s most iconic cities. With your support, they’ll arrive in Paris not just ready to study, but ready to thrive.
