1st Entry

My experience in France began with a warm welcome from Lilie's parents and her boyfriend. We were in the car for about an hour, and then we arrived at their house. There, they showed me around, I settled in, played with their dog and cats, and we had lasagna for dinner. After dessert, we made a video call with my parents so both families could meet. After such an intense day, I went to bed early. It was then when I discovered the first difference between Spain and France; they use smaller pillows because they also use cushions. Furthermore, they found really strange to put the pijama under the bed.

This last entry will not only focus on my final weekend here but also on all the people I have met. First of all, on Saturday, Lilie, her parents, and I went bowling, played for a while, and then had a few games of pool. To finish the day, we went to McDonald’s for dinner. Secondly, on Sunday, we went to Lilie’s boyfriend’s house. The important thing about this was that Lilie was the one driving, as she had just passed her driving test the day before. Lastly, I just want to say that it has been a great pleasure to live this experience and meet wonderful people like Lilie, her parents, the Spanish students I shared my Erasmus experience with, and the French students who participated in the program. Without a doubt, one day we will see each other again and reunite all together.

Today, I will talk about French cuisine. In France, most foods are cooked with butter—even fried eggs are made with butter. During meals, you’ll notice that the first and second courses are served together on the same plate. Also, cheese is widely used, either as a snack between the main course and dessert or as the main ingredient in dishes like fondue au fromage . On the other hand, there are many delicious desserts, such as crêpes and macarons. In general, French food is amazing, but sometimes I miss croquettes or Iberian ham.

Today, I am going to talk about the city of Angers, where my school is located. Angers is a city about the same size as Logroño. It has a tram that connects all parts of the city, making transportation easier. In the city center, there is a beautiful Christmas market located next to Galeries Lafayette , a well-known French department store similar to El Corte Inglés , where you can find all kinds of brand-name clothing and accessories. In another square nearby, there is a second part of the Christmas market, which features a giant Ferris wheel and numerous food stalls. I bought a macaron, a crêpe, and a pretzel. A few streets away, there is a beautiful park where you can see various animals such as goats, ducks, and rabbits. Something that really surprised me is that there are no drinking fountains anywhere in the city.
