Paris Catacombs
Straight out of the gate I have to mention the most important piece of information you need to know before visiting the Catacombs in Paris. The lenght of time it takes for you to enter will be the main factor in whether or not you decide to make the effort of going. We...

La fête des vendanges de Montmartre
On my most recent trip to Paris, I was lucky enough to arrive on the same day as the "La fête des vendanges de Montmartre". We had no idea this event was taking place the same weekend so it was a great surprise to find out we were going to see a fireworks display...

The Stadium at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
I visted the Olympic Stadium in London to watch Ireland play Italy in the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Honestly I have to say that my experience at the stadium was a very mixed one. Firstly, the stadium is located in the Stratford area of the city, which can be a bit of a...

Teatro Kapital
Kapital is in my opinion the single greatest nightclub on planet Earth! I haven't been to every nightclub in the world but I see no way that any other place could top this place off! The first thing you need to know about Kapital is that it has 7 different floors!...

The Quays
If you are into live music then The Quays is defintely the pub where you will be spending the majority of your time in Galway. Live music is this pub's speciality and there is no shortage of it throughout the entire week. It is located on Quay Street which is just of...

The Sportsgrounds
The Sportsground is a stadium in Galway city that is the home of both the Connacht Rugby team and the city's greyhound races. The fact that there are greyhound races means that the stadium has a quite unique sand race track all the way around the rugby pitch. Now I...

Le Bazar
Le Bazar is, in my opinion, the best club in all of Marseille. It is located right by the Stade Velodrome football stadium at Rond Point du Prado so it is basically half way between Luminy and Vieux Port. This makes it a little easier for international students who...

Le Trolleybus
Trolleybus was probably the first nightclub I visited during my first stay in Marseille. It is located right on the waterfront in the centre of Marseille in Vieux Port. This makes it really easy to access if you live in or near the city centre but it can pose problems...

Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde
Notre-Dame de la Garde is a Catholic basilica that overlooks the Vieux Port ("Old Port") area of Marseille. It's the most famous landmark in Marseille along with the beautiful Calanques (I have also written an article on one of these). It is the symbol of Marseille,...

Erasmus Marseille 2015 / 2016 (English)
Hello Isabell, If you are going to be studying in Luminy then it would defintely be better to stay at CROUS in Luminy. The bus connection between the city and Luminy is quite good. The #21 bus will be your friend whilst there. There are plenty of buses but it can take...

McDonagh's Fish & Chips
If your restaurant has been open continously since 1902 then you know you must be doing something right. I had been going to university in Galway, Ireland for about 2 years and I somehow had never heard about McDonagh's. In fact it was during the summer whilst at home...

Maxi Club
Maxi Club is one of the biggest clubs in Marseille. It's located just off of Vieux-Port which is the real centre of the city. Because it is so large it is probably the most popular destination for BDE (Bureau des étudiants) parties in all of the universities. As these...

The Stade Velodrome in Marseille is home to the most decorated and successful football team in France; Olympique de Marseille, otherwise known as OM. If you were to ask a Marseillais person what was the largest religion in Marseille they would not say Islam or...

Experience in Galway, Ireland by Alan
What is it like to live in Galway? Would you recommend it? What is the city like? Galway is the best city in Ireland for students. It has all the benefits of a big city like Dublin but none of the disadvantages. I would recommend it to anyone and I can say from my...

Carcassonne Castle

Millénium Club
Millénium (Known as Mystik when I was on my Erasmus) is far the best clubbing option for Erasmus students in Marseille. Even without talking about how good the actual club is, it is still the best option. The best thing about the club is its location (Here you have...

O'Brady's Irish Pub
There are several "Irish" pubs in Marseille and whilst all the other are good pubs, the closest thing you will get to an authentic Irish pub in the city is at O'Brady's. If you somehow didn't know it was an Irish pub from the decor outside, you will know for sure once...

Palais Omnisports Marseille Grand-Est
The Palais Omnisports in Marseille is a great place to do something that you wouldn't really expect to do in a city in the south of France. My friends and I visited this place a couple of time to go ice skating! The area is home to the local Marseille ice hockey team,...

Plages du Prado are situated near the city centre of Marseille and are the closest thing you will get to a traditional sandy beach in the city. Interestingly, they are beaches that were artifically createdfrom the material leftover from the construction of the 2 metro...

When I mean it's located right next to the campus I really mean it. There's one building that is located about 10 feet from the entrance to the school and another where you have to climb a small hill to get to the entrance. The main 21 bus line is right at the bottom of...
