We hit the road for a day between lake and mountains, ideal for breathing, discovering and sharing a great time with students.
First stop: Annecy, often referred to as the "Venice of the Alps". And with good reason: its canals, cobbled streets, colorful houses and, above all, its turquoise lake surrounded by mountains create a unique atmosphere. You can stroll through the old town, put your towel down by the water's edge, eat an artisanal ice cream or even go for a swim if the sun's out!
By mid-afternoon, we're on our way to Aix-les-Bains, a renowned, peaceful spa town. This is the home of Lac du Bourget, France's largest natural lake. The setting is perfect for a stroll, a break in the sun or simply a good souvenir photo.
We return to Lyon in the early evening, relaxed, tanned (maybe), and with lots of memories in our heads.

Unforgettable destinations!
You arrive, you breathe, you smile. Annecy is the perfect blend of turquoise lake and mountains. Stroll through the narrow streets, grab an ice cream by the canal, sit by the lake. And if you're keen, you can even go for a swim!
Did you know?
Every year, Annecy plays host to the world's biggest animated film festival. The city becomes a veritable playground for artists, and it's ultra-creative.
A change of scenery, but not of atmosphere. Aix-les-Bains is all about the lake, the surrounding mountains, the peace and quiet, and that feeling of being really somewhere else. You can sit by the water, take a walk, chat and just enjoy.
Did you know?
The poet Lamartine fell in love with Lac du Bourget... to the point of writing a cult poem about it, Le Lac. And frankly, once you're there, you'll understand why.

Our charters
At Erasmus Place, the journey begins as soon as you get on the bus. It's a friendly atmosphere, where people get to know each other, have a laugh and share music and tips.
Our buses are comfortable, air-conditioned and equipped with toilets, barring major exceptions. We want you to feel at ease, even during several hours of driving. To make sure everything goes smoothly, we also have a few simple rules: respect for everyone, no inappropriate behavior, no consumption of alcohol or banned substances on the bus.
For each trip, we select quality establishments, always with a minimum 2-star rating for hotels. Whether it's a hotel or a hostel, you can count on comfortable, clean and conveniently located accommodation.
Our hotels and hostels are always located in the city center, close to places of interest and local entertainment, so you can make the most of your stay without wasting time in transport. With a few exceptions.
Rooms are shared among friends, in a relaxed atmosphere, but we respect a simple rule: men stay with men, women with women. Rooms are divided into groups of 2, 3 or 4 people, depending on the configuration of the site. If you're traveling as a couple, it's possible to have a room for two, but only by prior arrangement.
We want you to feel comfortable, surrounded and safe throughout your stay.
Each Erasmus Place trip is supervised by one or more trained Tour Leaders, who are friendly and always available. Their role is to ensure that your stay is well organized, that the group is safe and that a friendly atmosphere prevails from departure to return. They welcome you, inform you, lead the trips, coordinate the different stages of the program and listen to you throughout the trip.
Our Tour Leaders are fluent in between two and five languages, including English, making it easy to communicate with all participants, whatever their nationality. They are not certified guides like those you find in museums, but they know perfectly well the destinations they visit, the instructions for the trip, and the good tips to share. They're there to accompany you, reassure you, answer your questions, deal with the unexpected and make sure you get the most out of your Erasmus experience.
Their aim is simple: to make sure you return home with your head full of memories... and the desire to go back (alone or with us!).
