A language school in Paris is appealing to families in St Albans, Harpenden and the surrounding areas to host students from France this July.

LEC of Paris have been arranging similar visits to England for more than 30 years and are the leading company offering home stay.

The students from France will be aged between 11 to 17 and will attend classes, activities and go on educational visits each day between 8.30am and 5.30pm, meaning even working families can be a host.

Spokesperson for the company, Melissa Caneppele said: "Hosting can be a very rewarding experience , it offers considerable educational value and is a fun experience for the whole family.

"LEC pay a sum of money per night for board and its a great way to earn extra cash if you have a spare room."
