American clothes are popular in France and are very expensive if French ppl can find em. Thus, they will think that you spent a fortune on them. Find something that is easier to fit such as a scarf or sporty blouse/shirt rather than hard to fit items like shoes or jeans. Sweaters might work, too-- many French ppl have only 1-2 sweaters so they will appreciate it very much. Windbreakers/jackets are another idea. De rien et bon voyage!

Assuming you are from another country, I also would suggest you purchase something from your own country to take.
Another reader suggested clothing. That sounds like a good idea for the teens. (But what brands are in demand?? Levis?) Maybe a t-shirt for the boy and/or costume jewelry for the teen girl.
The 7 year old girl may prefer a plaything. Perhaps if you are American, an American Barbie doll or a activity kit of some sort that was made in your home country and may not be available there.
I would recommend that you watch the labels as your shop. Avoid the "made in China", and items like "Bath and Body" because they are popular worldwide.
Don't forget to pick up something for the parents also. Maybe a wine from your home country.
Remember, do not wrap the gifts before flying, because of security. You may want to take your own gift wrap so that it will have that personal touch.
Have fun.

I went on a school trip like this a few years ago. They really love things that are useful or interesting. Maybe bring a book of full-colour images of American landmarks - stuff like the Grand Canyon, New York, Hollywood, etc. Also, cute things like little soft toys of native American animals. Since they are learning English, they might also appreciate it if you brought some well-known American books for them to read. Enjoy your trip. :)

When my daughter was a guest she brought the mother a small Isabel Bloom statue (made in Iowa). For her teen hosts t-shirts from her college and for the father a coffee table book of our area. They seemed to appreciate the gifts and even called and thanked me.

Find out what their shoe sizes are, go to Marshall's/TJ Maxx, and get them a couple pairs of Converse or Pumas. They are very popular and very expensive in France. American school T-shirts and sweatshirts are also popular. Candy (not chocolate) might be a good idea - my students adored Pixie Stix.

How about an 11 yr old boy....should even things out.
Seriously though...the french love wine and cheese. Get them some made locally from where you are. I think they will enjoy both.

The French love flowers. Buy them a huge flower arrangement.

The French love their food, they hate English food. Take them out for a lovely meal - a French meal.

Bonjour! Je suggère que vous achetiez une poupée de barbie pour la jeune fille. Une balle de football pour le plus vieux garçon. Et quelques chemises agréables pour l'autre fille.
