For those who love coffee and cakes, Le Petit Sacha on Rue du Taur. And for the night La Place St. Pierre where you're bound to find all the erasmus.

You can only learn french by being in France! To be able to follow the courses you'll have to have pretty good skills from the beginning, but your skills will develop outside the school as well. Speak french also with the other erasmus!!

I can't think of a better place to spend your erasmus. To make things even greater, try to find french student who have done their erasmus in your home country. They'll be glad to help you and you'll make great new freinds!
