My Erasmus Angers 2024

  Sport events When I was in France I went to two different competitions,,almost three. The first one was a footbal match, the middle child of the family I was with was playing in the cup of France on a team. They lost, but even that it was a fun experience. Because after the match we went to the bar of the pitch and there were all the people that were supporting their team even they had lost and being desqualified. Another day we went to Juliette's trail running, it was very exciting but here was a lot of mud so I almost felt, Juliette did amazing and she was the fourth. It was a big run with people from all over the region and lots of clubs. I almost went to another trail, but it was raining and the floor was frozen, so Juliette's mum and I decided to stay at home.

  Transports in Angers People in France travel in lots of diferentes ways. In Anger they had lots of buses that went from the small villages to the center of Angers. There were lots of diferentes ways to get to school, depending on the time that you had to arrive you could get one or another. They had also three lines of trams that could get you anywhere you wanted. Some people arrived school by bike, scooter or motorcycle because in the school there was a parking where they could leave them. There were also people who came by car, they use mini cars that have a maximum of 45km/h that can drive people above 14 years old. This cars also exist in Spain, but we are not used to watch them.

Decorating the house  When December started all the city and the villages started to decorate for Christmas with lights, Christmas markets and funfairs. When it was time to decorate the house my host father brought a giant tree, it was real, not fake like I am use to decorate my house with. It was so high that almost couldn't fit on the living room. We decorate it during the afternoon, also the windows and stairs of the house with stickers, lights and tinsels, there was also a garland on the front door of the house. We had a great time that day, the most complicated part was reach to the top of the tree to put the star, my host father almost felt down.

  Christmas on France When I was in France the Christmas season started, and I did and saw lots of different traditions that they have. For example I visited three different Christmas markets. One was a Chinese market in Paris that had Christmas decorations and typical Chinese food. Another one was in Angers in the square of the theater that had lots of stands with food and decorations, there was also a carousel, all the city was decorated for Christmas with Christmas lights. And the last one that I visited was in Craon, a small village with a big and typical market with traditional and home made products, it was beautiful and very full. One curiosity is that on Christmas time French people drink hot wine for getting warm.

My trip to Paris  I went to Paris with the family of my corespondent, it was a trip of one day,but we watched lots of things. Starting the day we catch a train to go to Paris, when we arrived the first thing that we visited was the Montmartre and we got into Basilique du Sacre Coeur, it was beautiful. L ater than we had a walk and we watch the famous cabaret Moulin Rouge and the beautiful opera Palais Garnier. We had lunch, and following we went to a shop centre to see a light show. After that we went to the Eiffel tower, we watched a chinese Christmas market and we get on a boat to do a tour on the Sena river, it was amazing, we watched Notre Dame. Finally we watched the Arc de Trionphe and the lights show of the Eiffel tower and return by train.
