Special accommodations and tips
Alongside the "classic" solutions for finding accommodation (private individuals, estate agents or student housing), you can also turn to other types of accommodation. Solutions that can be interesting financially or for sharing and exchange.
Are you a student or teacher-researcher? Are you passing through Montpellier? The Crous de Montpellier offers a choice of accommodation at specially adapted prices (€21.50 per night) on its Bed and Crous platform.
Home-stay accommodation is ideal for short stays, as it consists of a furnished room in the owner's home. An economical, friendly formula with all-inclusive rent and eligibility for subsidies.
A compromise between an apartment and a hotel, their accommodation is furnished and equipped. A reception desk is available year-round to answer your housekeeping questions.
Depending on the residence, various services are offered (janitor, parking, laundry, gym, internet, swimming pool, bike room...).
It provides information on the best addresses for small, inexpensive hotels in Montpellier.
MA1SON is a scheme providing easier access to social housing in partner residences.
It provides students with a place of socialization, learning and commitment designed to promote their academic success, civic responsibility and professional integration, by encouraging young people to get involved in projects with local impact.
In Montpellier, the program has set up 1 rue Bourrely, in the Le Clémenceau residence, and offers two types of accommodation: shared and individual, for rents ranging from €500 to €530 per month, eligible for APL.
Student flat-sharing in nursing homes
The Centre Communal d'Action Sociale (CCAS) de Montpellier offers student colocations in municipal EHPADs.
15 students live in the residences:
- Michel Bélorgeot,
- Françoise Gauffier,
- Les Aubes,
- Simone Gillet Demangel.
The shared apartments, ranging in size from 71 to 115m², are renovated and partially furnished former company housing.
In exchange for a moderate rent starting at €180/month (all charges included, excluding APL), the students offer a minimum of 3 hours of voluntary activities to the residents.
They set up activities according to their availability and talents, particularly at weekends or in the late afternoon. The schedule is discussed in advance with the EHPAD professional team.
The lease lasts for one academic year, with the possibility of renewal. The lease expires a maximum of three years after the date of entry, all renewals included.

Intergenerational encounters
Through this scheme, the CCAS affirms its desire to open up EHPADs to their neighborhoods and make them very active intergenerational venues. The project has a number of objectives: to change the way people look at life in EHPAD, to combat precariousness and isolation, and to strengthen social ties to live better together, be better together and do better together.
New housemates can share convivial moments with residents, but also discover life and the different professions working in these structures. For the residents, it's an opportunity to pass on their experience and benefit from the vitality and dynamism of the younger generation.
This approach is fully in line with the philosophy of Article 6 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of the Elderly Person with a Disability or Dependency: "Any elderly person with a disability or dependency must be encouraged to maintain activities."
The roommate can, for example, take part in a board game, read the newspaper, accompany a resident for a walk, and so on.
Community living rules
Students welcomed into the shared apartments are volunteers and motivated by the project on offer. There can be no relationship of subordination, in the sense of employment law, between the host structure and the student. Respect for the EHPAD staff and their work, the premises, the residents, the equipment and the environment is required of all.
As an accessory, the tenant may share meal times with the residents at the EHPAD restaurant for a fixed price of €5 per menu, by registering with the establishment in advance.
.Temporary and emergency accommodation
Searching for an emergency accommodation solution is done by phoning 115 (toll-free number, free of charge).
