This is a by-product of French social policies of the late 60’s and a desire to welcome both foreign groups for long-term stays (language learning) and professionals for short stays and not just be a Youth Hostel. Rooms go from individual rooms with ensuites to 6-bed dorms with their own ensuite or bathroom in the corridor. Small desk Wi-Fi everywhere, buffet breakfast, cafeteria for lunch and dinner at reasonable cost by Paris standards, various activities, night club on weekends, but also meeting rooms, small garden, table tennis and table football, a full bar. On a tucked away street but still ask for a room NOT on the street. Excellent location in the 14th arrondissement (district) with 3 metro stops minutes away on line 6 as well as the bus and train (RER) going to both Paris airports
