How I did it: Took my savings and my severance from the company that laid me off and contacted friends I made on my previous visits to inform I was heading over. I then went over and rented a cheap room to stay in on a temporary basis. Read how I did it…
pokey_jo if a pinata made a noise, that's what it would sound like.
How I did it: Lucky for me, my boyfriend is from the South of France and his family flew me there to spend a month with them. I was able to see a lot of tourist sites, learn things about their culture, and learn a bit of French. I even got the opportunity to visit Paris for a day. I can't wait to go back in a few months because now I'm learning French and I'll be forced to use it! Read how I did it…

How I did it: Well, I basically signed up for this school trip during which I would spend one week living with a French family and one week touring various attractions in Northwestern France. I learned so much French by using it constantly, not to mention a ton of history from our guided tours. It was an excellent experience. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I was always dreaming about going to France. I liked everything french, I started to learn the language... But I've never been there until I decided to spend there my last two years of high school. It has been a half year since I study in France. Maybe it is not as I imagined but certainly it is a great experience. Read how I did it…

Ever since seeing Audrey Hepburn in the film Sabrina, at the age of 8, I’ve wanted to visit Paris. Since then, my dream of visiting Paris has expanded to seeing the rest of France including Provence and the French Riviera. I love the culinary history and the wine, but I want to experience it for myself.
I have very little money, but I know I need at least $3,000, so I will have to begin saving up to go. I’ve found ways to stay there cheaply, such as renting an apartment as opposed to staying at a hotel, and also learned about CouchSurfing.com, which is a way to meet new people and travel cheaply.
Bonjour! I have been to France four times now and each time has been wonderful. From the small villages to the bright lights of Paris, France has so much to offer. The bread is delicious! I stayed with the wonderful Parin family in Villers-Bretonneux (our twin town), northern France. I returned again to Paris and stayed in the Hotel Perfect which is in a great location. I recommend France to all!

Parisian food, Parisian art and the Eiffel Tower. These are the things I want to see and do. Money is tight, I would have to budget for a few months, go without something and sacrifice. Would it be worth it?

I hosted an exchange student for about a month last year. Now, I’m going to be one for about a week and afterwards tour major cultural landmarks with a group of students. So, at this point, I just have to wait until June rolls around. Qu’est-ce que je suis impatiente!

so i went to france in any case… my friend and i split ways for a few days and then met up again later. and i am so glad we did. i went to lyon, and reveled in being surrounded by the language and trying it out here and there. my french has definitely deteriorated since i last studied it, but i guess that was to be expected. still, i thoroughly enjoyed myself. and everyone was so nice to me there. i definitely want to go back and spend a longer time—enough time to get to be able to speak reasonably well. and of course to see other places there, especially paris, and again with y.

...CDG Airport was pretty much the only place i went to in france, which is why i plan on actually visiting and touring France next year! i guess you could say the only thing i visited while i was in paris, france (for 2 hours) is the airport gift shop and “illy’s”, which i’m thinking is the starbucks of europe. one of the highlights for me though was that i was flying with a group of 32 and out of all of them I was the ONLY ONE to see the eiffel tower as we flew in. but yeah i’m already planning on going back next year, and to 4 other countries too! yippie yippie yeah!
