One warning about Sanitas - you can't get an internet connection in your room. You can in Europa, but you have to go to France Telecom to set it up yourself. Apply for the CAF - you save around 1/3 of your rent. Look for formules at restaurants. They're the best way to get a two or three course meal.

The Pale is the best Erasmus bar in Tours. It's an Irish Pub so you can mix with Anglophones and Francophones at the same time. Check it out on Rue Colbert! Café Chaud is legendary. Pyms is a trek away from the town centre, but is the only big night club (it's close to Sanitas). Opposite Pyms is Le Corsaire. Here you have a pirate themed cocktail and ice-cream bar. BEST COCKTAILS DU MONDE! In the Summer you should check out Tutti Gusti on Place Plumereau.
