Hello Elena,

Your ticket was originally booked for the weekend of October 17-19, 2025, in Amsterdam, but you requested a transfer to the weekend of November 21 in Amsterdam. After a transfer, no refunds are possible.

After a ticket transfer (to another date or person), no refunds will be accepted.

No problem, whether you're a member or not within 48 hours.

However, you must change the ticket information yourself. To do this, use the link in the confirmation email you received when you made your booking. Then click on "manage my booking".

Please note: if the person checking out does not match the information on the ticket, access will be refused.

Please note that it can take up to 8 days for us to reply, as we receive a lot of mail every day. If your request is made a few days before your trip, it will be complicated. You need to anticipate as early as possible

We're sorry, but our buses always leave on time, without exception.

If you arrive even a few minutes late, it will unfortunately no longer be possible to join the current trip.
For insurance and safety reasons, we cannot accept participants joining us later on site, either during the day or at the weekend.

In this case, the ticket is unfortunately lost. However, you can contact us at [email protected]: we will see what we can do to compensate you, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If the arrival time does not correspond to the one indicated at the time of purchase, please note that Erasmus Place cannot be held responsible for delays due to traffic, weather conditions, road closures, technical incidents or unforeseen circumstances during the trip.

Delays do not entitle you to any reimbursement, nor to additional expenses (bus, train, cab...) for your return journey.

This is normal: for organizational and safety reasons, the ticket must be in the name of the person taking part in the trip.

If this is not the case, the name change has not been carried out correctly.

If this is the case, please write to us quickly at [email protected] explaining the situation, so that we can see what can be done.

No problem at all! Your friends and family (even your parents) are welcome on our trips, as long as they're over 18.

contact us at [email protected] with as much information as possible (surname, first name, ticket number, date of travel) to help us process your request. Please do not contact your tour leader, as he will not be able to help you.

You'll usually receive a link (often during the bus journey) to choose your room with your friends.

If you've specified who you'd like to be with when booking, we'll take that into account.

Rooms are organized by gender: girls with girls, boys with boys.

If you're coming alone, don't worry, we'll place you with other participants.

This depends on the destination. In general, rooms are for 2, 3 or 4 people. Sometimes up to 6, as happens in Amsterdam from time to time.

We always select well-located hotels or hostels in the city center, so you can enjoy your stay without having to use public transport again.

Hotels are at least 2-star, often with breakfast included (with some exceptions).

The hostels are of good quality and well located in the towns we visit too.

Contact us at [email protected] with as much information as possible (surname, first name, ticket number, date of travel) to help us process your request.

When you buy a ticket, you can mention it too. 

You can of course write to us at [email protected] to tell us all about it.

Please note that tour leaders do not have access to this mailbox, so your message will remain confidential.

Our trips are open to all: international students, expatriates, interns, au pairs... but also to your friends, family or even French friends if you wish.
In practice, the vast majority of participants (around 90%) are international students and young people.

We always do our utmost to make our trips accessible to everyone.
In principle, most of our trips are suitable for people with reduced mobility.
However, we invite you to contact us at [email protected] before booking, so that we can check the details together and ensure the best possible conditions for you.

Events

Our events are open to all: international students, expatriates, interns, au pairs... but also to your friends, family or even French friends if you wish.
In practice, the vast majority of participants are international students and young people.

I understand how frustrating this can be. In general, club security teams enforce their own entry rules, and there's always a reason for a refusal.


If you still feel that there has been a problem or inappropriate behavior, you can write to us at [email protected] to let us know.

For ticketed events and parties, no refunds are possible, even if you are a member. You can resell your ticket

You must return directly to the club the next day to claim a lost item. Erasmus Place cannot do anything about this.

You can of course write to us at [email protected] to tell us all about it.

Activities

In English and French!

Don't worry. The day before the activity, you'll normally have received a link to join the activity's WhatsApp group.


The organizer will be present and will be able to tell you exactly where the starting point is when you need it.

Yes, as always! You're part of our family too! 

Locations

Yes, all the selected venues are designed to suit student life: affordable prices, accessibility, friendly atmosphere, proximity to campuses or places to live, and often frequented by young people aged 18 to 30.

We choose locations according to several criteria: popularity with students, good value for money, strategic location, diversity of offerings (restaurants, schools, museums, etc.), and accessibility. We also include original or cultural venues to vary our discoveries.

We do our best to provide accurate and regularly updated information. However, certain changes (schedules, rates, closures) may occur. If you spot an error, please let us know.

Yes, our descriptions are based on accurate research, student feedback and field visits. We don't copy and paste advertising, and we avoid sponsored content.

Yes. If you know of a good spot that's useful for students (restaurant, bar, school, cultural venue, etc.), you can recommend it to us. It will be reviewed and added if it meets our criteria.

Jobs

Offers are open to all: students, recent graduates, freelancers or experienced profiles. Each ad specifies the criteria (level of education, status, skills, etc.).

No. The site includes both internal Erasmus Place assignments (photography, communications, events, etc.) and opportunities offered by partner companies and associations.

Not always. Some offers are open to non-French speakers, especially those aimed at an international audience. If you need to speak French, this will be indicated in the advertisement.

Just click on the ad you're interested in and click on "Apply". You'll usually be asked to send a CV, a covering message, and sometimes a portfolio or examples of your work.

Finally, someone who cares about foreign students and all the skills they can bring. You can contact us directly at [email protected]. We offer you a simple, clear and visible online presence for a young, international and motivated audience.
