Paris 16e - Village d'Auteuil

The city

Nestled in the prestigious 16th arrondissement of Paris, the Auteuil area embodies the discreet charm and timeless elegance of the French capital. Known for its lush, refined private mansions, and tranquil atmosphere, this neighborhood offers a peaceful haven in the heart of the city. With lively food local markets, beautiful gardens like the magnificent Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil, and a rich architectural heritage, Auteuil captivates both history enthusiasts and nature lovers.

Auteuil is ideally connected by several bus, metro, and RER lines, allowing you to reach the Latin Quarter in just 15 minutes. The Left Bank is also easily accessible, either by foot or by cycling along the scenic Seine quays. The Marais neighborhood is just a short distance away. For sports lovers, the proximity to iconic venues like Roland Garros (for tennis), Parc des Princes (for soccer), Jean-Bouin Stadium (for rugby), and the Hippodrome d’Auteuil (for horse racing) is a major draw. The nearby Bois de Boulogne provides a perfect space for jogging, cycling, or simply taking a leisurely stroll and if you like swimming, you will be able to dive at a walking distance.

The area is also celebrated for its Art Deco and Art Nouveau architectural gems, and nearby museums. It combines Parisian elegance with a village-like spirit, offering an exceptional quality of life.

Meet Fabienne, your French language teacher and host.

As a trained French teacher with a Diplôme d’Aptitude à l’Enseignement du Français Langue Étrangère (DAEFLE) and a background in translation, I bring my passion for languages, intercultural exchange, and teaching to create immersive learning experiences. My program is designed to help you not only master the language but also deeply connect with French culture. While I am still building my teaching experience, my strong communication skills and deep interest in fostering connections will guide you in learning French in a practical and engaging way. We’ll combine structured learning with real-world experiences. Together, we’ll explore local food markets, discover some architectural gems of the neighbourhood, visit museums, and perhaps prepare and enjoy a home-cooked meal to experience French culture firsthand. We will also venture through Paris’ both iconic landmarks and lesser-known wonders.My lessons are tailored to match your unique objectives and learning style. Whether you’re looking to improve conversational fluency, prepare for exams, focus on a specific challenge or explore cultural insight, I am here to help you succeed – one step at a time. I strive to make learning French an engaging and enriching experience, allowing you to practice the language in real-life contexts while discovering the beauty of Paris.

Language and educational background

I am a French national and had the privilege of receiving a bilingual education in English and French from an early age.

During my secondary education, I also studied German and Italian.

In 1989, I earned a Master’s degree in Trilingual Translation and Terminology (English, German, and French) from ISIT (Institut Supérieur d’Interprétation et de Traduction).
I have been working as a freelance technical translator and project manager ever since.

In 2021, I decided to broaden my skills and evolve my career by training in teaching French as a foreign language. I completed courses offered by CNED and the Alliance Française, earning the DAEFLE (Diplôme d’Aptitude à l’Enseignement du Français Langue Étrangère) degree.

Your homestay & Activities

As a translator and a trained French language teacher, I offer a personalized approach to language immersion. I am fluent in English and have some knowledge of Italian and German, which can help with your learning process if needed. Immersing yourself in French offers the unique advantage of personalized, tailor-made lessons that are designed to suit your level and preferences. By staying with your instructor, you will have the opportunity to actively listen to and practice French throughout the day, seamlessly integrating language learning into different engaging activities.

Possible activities within the area are as follows:

Discovering the Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings in the area
Visiting the changing room cabins of the Art Deco Molitor swimming pool, painted by artists (booking required)
Visiting the local food market and preparing a meal at home with the fresh ingredients purchased
Strolling around the Bois de Boulogne, touring its two lakes or even taking a boat ride on the main lake (summer only)
Exploring the Serres d’Auteuil greenhouses
Visiting Roland Garros or the Parc des Princes venues (small additional entrance fee required, subject to availability)
Walking or biking along the Seine quays

If you prefer more cultural activities, Paris is brimming with exciting possibilities and you can choose them based on your interests:

Evening theater or concert outings, museum visits, exploring iconic neighborhoods such as L’île de la Cité (Notre Dame) and l’île Saint-Louis, Le Marais, the Latin Quarter, Montmartre.

My husband, who is newly retired, is a passionate handyman and nature lover, will be around during your stay. He is also a great cook :) Our two adult children might pop in and out occasionally, but they are no longer staying with us.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We have a playful 2-year-old Brittany Spaniel who is friendly and a bit energetic, so it’s very important that you feel comfortable and confident around dogs.
