Final comments
Troyes was a brilliant location, as it was only 1h30 from Paris, and therefroe it was in easy reach of other European cities, especially Brussels. A reasonale sized city, it was large enough to have all the necesary facilities, yet not so big that you feel lost. I found it very easy to settle in to life as an ERASMUS here.
