Deauville American Film Festival

The next weekend my friend and I decided to go to Deauville which is also in the North of France, famous for the American Film Festivals taking place at one of the posh cities of France.

Deauville has a very nice yacht, casino and many many beautiful hotels (e.g. Le Normandy Barrière) and villa. At the beach are in front of every changing room names of Hollywood celebrities who have been already there.

The city airs so much harmony. Every corner is beautiful. If you'll be there one day, you should definitely enjoy one of the delicious seafoods!

One Day In Rouen

Rouen is a city with 108,569 inhabitants, situated in the North of France, close to the river Seine. I went by bus to Rouen with a friend, spending one day there. It was a long drive. Finally we arrived in Rouen. It was really cloudy, but didn't rain. The city is small, but beautiful. The cathedral of Rouen is one of the tourist features, as well as the L’aître Saint-Maclou and Rue du Gros Horloge with the famous watch. In the evening we went to a Mexican party with Mexican students. It was interesting to see how extrovert they are. A lot of self-made tapas and quesadillas had been waiting for us. In the night we went back to Evreux by bus, sleeping during the whole drive.

How My Love With Paris Started

Evreux is a very small city, with 51,485 citizens and is just one hour away from Paris. I spent most of my weekends in Paris, with my friends Céline and David.

I always felt so comfortable in the city of love and romance. I visited the Museum of Louvre , the Eiffel tower, and walked up and down the Champs-Élysées several times.




Shopping was so much fun, especially close to the metro station, Les Halles. The long long hours at a table, chatting and eating gourmet food with a nice red wine always reminds me of Paris.

Welcome to Evreux!

During my studies of online journalism I wanted to do an internship abroad. I worked as a freelancer at a newspaper in Rüsselsheim and I always participated in exchanges from my home city, Evreux. One day I was in the city hall, chatting to a woman and describing to her my wish to take an internship in France. The rest went pretty fast. I forwarded her my CV and kept in touch with her. She arranged an internship at the weekly newspaper "La Dépêche". The translator of Rüsselsheim helped me find accommodation at a hall of residence. Everything was arranged and I couldn't wait to live in France, speaking one of my most favourite languages.
