Set up in 2002 by journalists Danièle Ohayon and Philippe Spinau and supported by their colleagues in the French media, the award-winning House of Journalists is the only hostelry of its kind in the world. It has over the years hosted 140 journalists from more than 40 countries who were forced to flee persecution in their homeland. It can house 15 refugees at a time, each of whom stays for six months.

At the unique House of Journalists in PARIS, France, in the Parisian suburb of Bobigny, refugee reporters are regarded as heroes and welcomed with open arms, a far cry from their treatment back home.
