Q&A MIJE Marais youth hostels

MIJE youth hostels are open to all, and have specialised in hosting groups of young people for almost 50 years. We are approved by the Jeunesse et Éducation Populaire (Youth and Popular Education) and are registered in the directory of reception and accommodation centres authorised by the Paris Academic Directorate. Our establishments have a “local” number attesting to their declaration to the DDCS 75 as a collective reception of minors (ACM). The approval number is 75 JEP 04-193. Since 2022, our hostels have been Éduscol approved for school groups.

Group rates vary according to the season. Please consult our presentation brochure with the MIJE Paris group rates.

The 3 youth hostels, Fourcy, Fauconnier and Maubuisson, are located in the Marais district, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, very close to each other. The rooms will be allocated to you according to the composition of your group. The name and address of the hostel in which you will stay is at the discretion of MIJE and will be specified to you when the room allocation is sent to you approximately 8 days before your arrival.

Group participants are accommodated in multiple rooms of 3 to 10 beds; and group leaders in twin rooms. Most rooms have bunk beds. We apply a principle of non-mixing in the rooms which are privatized for each group. All our rooms are equipped with private bathrooms (shower and washbasin). The toilets are located outside the rooms. Beds are made up on arrival. Towels are not provided. Rooms are allocated according to the composition of your group and are at the discretion of the MIJE.

Rooms are available from 3pm on the day of arrival at the hostel and must be vacated by 12 noon on the day of departure.

Each hostel has a luggage room which is available free of charge on arrival and on the day of departure. You can use it on the day of arrival if you arrive before 3pm and on the day of departure, after you have checked out of your room (12pm at the latest). For security reasons, each piece of luggage must be fitted with a lock and labelled visibly with the name and contact details of its owner.

Each hostel has a communal area, with tables and chairs, which is open to all guests and cannot be used privately. Two meeting rooms at Fourcy Youth Hostel can be rented for half a day or a day. Book now here.
