Hi I’m an English university student and I will be re-locating to France for the year 2005! I would like some help on choosing ares in France to saty in as our options are quite limited. I have managed to narrow my list down to two cities and I was wondering if anyone would be able to advise me as to where to go out of 1> NANTES 2> ORLEANS-TOURS?
Having lived in London all my life I love big cities so I am looking for somewhere vibrant with a lot of things to do. I am only 20 so a city or town with a lot of youths would be great. A city with excellent public transport is also important.
Finally I have been warned of the racism in France and being of Afro-Caribbean parentage I want to make sure I go somewhere where I can feel safe and comfortable.
Please help!
Thank you in advance

hey…. me too i want to live in paris coz its a lovely city.
Yeah I’d luv to live in Paris too, unfortunately my University does not have links with any universities in Paris.
so… Tours is called "le petit Paris"
SO YOU WOULD RECOMMEND TOURS? I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO PUT NOW BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE SAID NANTES. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME THE GOOD POINTS AND BAD POINTS ABOUT BOTH?
THANK YOU
sorry but i never went to Nantes … mmmmmm i can’t help you to decide. i know Tours since 3/4 months and it seems very interesting.
I am french and i advise you to go to Nantes because it’s one of the best university in france, there are many students and it’s nice.
Tours is not so good for studying and there are less students than in nantes neverthelss it is a beautiful city.
For both, it is easy to move
Thank you so much. I have selected Nantes, now all I have to do is wait and see if I get my choice. Thanks again, Jada
