One week in Paris with my parents
When you are Erasmus and your parents can afford to visit you, they will sure do it. It’s always good to have an excuse to go on holiday and what is better than to say: “Our daughter studies in Paris, I will visit her”? Nothing! So, hop on the train or bus go to...

Nuit des étudiant du monde
That was one of these spontaneous actions. I don’t know, what we are doing wrong that we always only get to know about events shortly before. Especially, if it’s events, where you have to register for. For example, the nuits des étudiants du monde, which means the...

Special days in Paris
Not special in the sense of exceptionally good. Ok, yes, that is also true, but what I wanted to say with that is that they are different than normal days. I will tell you about some of these in this blog. Journée du Patrimoine The Journée du Patrimoine is the 20 of...

"Residence Hilton" or the University housing called "la Maison des Arts et Metiers"
Past memories Last Sunday, I was having a drink with my dear roommate Crki and her colleagues from her physics lab in a bar called Le Fleurus. The main reason of this funny meeting was for many participants the watching of the World Football Cup that was projected here....

My favourite places in Paris
How the life in Paris really is? During my four years in Paris, I’ve learned lots of things. I understood that real Parisian life is far away from the romantic and colourful one that we imagined through the films as Amelie from Montmartre. I understood that the...

Weekend in Paris
Weekend in Paris My friend, who was in Germany at that time, and I decided to meet up in Paris for the weekend. We are both Egyptians so it's usually hard for us to travel because we need to do a lot of visa papers, so we decided to visit Paris together while we were...

Disneyland Paris
Of all the trips I've been on in my 23 years, one of the ones I've enjoyed the most has to be Disneyland Paris. Whatever the worries or problems you have running through your head, when you arrive at the park, you'll forget all about them and be inundated with the magic...

Montmartre, la République, Bastille...
A live performance in Montmartre After I had eaten, I called Romain who I had been in contact with the same morning. He said he was in Montmarte, near one of the mills and that he would wait for me there. I climbed the hill and found him, as always, with a little beard....

Sacré-Coeur, Moulin Rouge...
My second day in Paris On my second night in Paris I slept so that much that I woke before my alarm (an achievement for me). I was alone in the house, Ana and Sebas were on a short trip away. I had breakfast, a shower and I set out to make the most of my second and last...

A stroll through Paris
I will start by talking about a new journey and the truth is that it has been quite good, but I suppose I will travel much less this year than I did in my Erasmus year. I will be talking about a little trip I made to the different parts of France. I am lucky enough to...

Weekend in Paris 7/12/2012 (the afternoon)
Before eating... The Louvre Entering the museum is totally confusing. There are several rooms where you can pay, besides the actual museum itself. There are several different queues which is unclear because you don't know which one you should be queuing in. In the end,...

True Paris
Source Paris, where do I start? The most touristic, iconic city in the world... thanks to its great landmarks and diverse arrondissements. It truly is the cultural hub of Europe, and each time I visit it, I fall even more in love. It is the epitome of discovery and a...

The Best Views in Paris - Part II
Eiffel Tower Of course, the Eiffel Tower has to be in the list with the best view in Paris, too. But as it's expensive and complicated to get up to the top it is only number three in the ranking. But let's start from the beginning. How to get there For many tourists,...

The Best Views in Paris - Part I
During my semester abroad in Amiens I have visited Paris several times, because it was only 1,5 hours by train away. I got to know the city better and better with each visit and escaped a bit from the touristic paths, because after some days you already know the most...

Last Day of Sightseeing
Jardin du Luxembourg The last day the weather was a bit better as I could assume looking out of the window, but still not sunny or nice. My Mum's flight would be in the evening so we still had almost the whole day to see some last things. But at first we decided to have...

The First of May - La Fête du Muguet
National Holiday - nothing to do The next day - it was still raining - it was the first of May. As in many other countries that's a national holiday celebrating the Day of Labour in France. I had already looked up before if there were any limitations concerning that day...

Sightseeing through Paris
Flirting with a Clown The second day my Mum woke up quite early (as always) and wanted to have breakfast. I would have preferred to stay in bed for 1 hour or something, but as it was our holiday together and she could get quite annoying I got up, too, and took a shower....

Chapter 1: CROUS
The first thing I set out to do after I got my Erasmus place in Paris was to, however I could, get a place at CROUS (Centre régional des œuvres universitaires et scolaires). This accommodation is really good value and therefore really sought after, getting a place...
