They may have either a terrace or direct access to a garden.

Most of the apartments are large enough for two and have a sofa bed or additional bed for a second person. A limited number of apartments have two separate rooms, which are especially practical for families with children. Bed and table linens are supplied by the owner and changed once a week, but students are expected to furnish their own towels. Very few apartments have their own washing machine.
There is a launderette (Laundromat) near the school.

All accommodation options are essentially designed as places for sleeping at night rather than for living during the day. Also you will almost certainly find your accommodation to be smaller than expected.

Students must pay a security deposit in cash upon arrival (not via CESA Languages) as long as no damage has been done, this is fully refundable at the end of the stay following a walk-through by the owner.

In order to guarantee the apartment style of your choice, we recommend you book several months in advance, especially for stays during the high tourist season (from December to the end of March).

Additional accommodation costs:

• The college arrangement fee: per person
• City Tax / if in an apartment/hotel: per night
• Applied on all Apartment bookings per night / per person will be added to your invoice
• If you book a Hotel direct, remember the city tax will be added to your bill by the Hotel owners

Premium Option:
Students can pay a little more to enjoy a better level of comfort; maybe a pool, spa or jacuzzi at the apartment, a sea view or a short commute to school (limited availability so please reserve well in advance).  Please let CESA staff know your priority, so we can advise the school accommodation officer on your behalf.

Le Gosier has a number of Hotel resorts to choose from, to the west side of the city (around 25/35 minutes from the school).

There are only a few classic hotel rooms, most of the hotels offer bungalows with cooking facilities. Room service is an option. You are welcome to make a Hotel reservation direct, neither CESA nor the language school can book the Hotel for you. To make a reservation, please contact the Residence of your choice directly.
