La Maison Francaise is the French language house at 暗网TV. The cottage on 14th Street was bought in 1981 to house female students interested in practicing their language skills and understanding French culture.

The French language house can hold up to six female students each academic year. There are four bedrooms (two doubles and two singles, which typically are reserved for the native assistant and the Resident Assistant).

La Maison Francaise residents promise to use French as much as they can in their daily interactions in the common areas of the house.
