Final comments

Travel tips: Lyon is the perfect starting point for making trips: 2h you are in paris on the cote d'Azur, in the mountains, Switzerland... 4h Milan, 6h Barcelona... Helpful advice: when you arrive try to get to know some host university students because they can tell you everything. There's also an association called "Opening" which is mainly responsible for exchange students, so you also can go there if you need to know something...
