A night view of Paris from Montmartre is not to be missed. A walk along Champs Elysée where there are plenty of nice café where to sit and have a taste of french style.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I think it is a good experience to try and find an appartement on your own and deal with landlord and paper work in a foreign country. It helps the language, your self confidence and build up your independence.

Living and studying abroad is a great experience and each person should do it at least once.
