Day 1

We meet in the morning at Porte Maillot, heading for Normandy. A relaxed atmosphere on the bus, and it's already time to make your first acquaintances.

First stop: Honfleur. You'll love strolling around the harbor: colorful houses, narrow cobbled streets, art galleries... it's a picture-postcard setting. You can even enjoy a free tasting of local wine or cider, and sit on a terrace to savor a crêpe or a typical regional dish.

Then it's on to Étretat and its famous cliffs. The panorama is just incredible. You can walk along the paths, climb up to the Eye of the Panda for some memorable photos, or simply settle down for a picnic with a view. For the curious, Arsène Lupin's house and the gardens of Étretat are well worth a visit. And if you're lucky... you might even catch a glimpse of dolphins offshore!

The more adventurous can even go for a swim: the water on Gallée's beaches is surprisingly good, and it's a real pleasure to cool off in this unique setting.

At the end of the day, we all hop back on the bus for Paris, tired but happy, our heads full of memories.

Étretat was amazing. One advise I can give is:the leader should count the people in the bus before letting the bus leave

Honfleur
Etretat

Honfleur is a charming port village in Normandy, with a peaceful atmosphere and slate houses around the old dock. It's the perfect place to stroll, sit on a terrace or enjoy a drink in one of the many small bars along the harbor. You'll discover an authentic, very artistic atmosphere, with galleries everywhere and a charm that has always attracted travelers.

Did you know? Painter Claude Monet and other Impressionists found their inspiration in Honfleur. The play of light on the water and facades even influenced some of their work.

With its white cliffs and natural arches plunging into the sea, Étretat offers spectacular scenery. You can take a real nature break, walk the coastal paths, sit facing the ocean or take postcard photos. It's the perfect place to disconnect and swim.

Did you know? The famous writer Maurice Leblanc set up the home of his character, Arsène Lupin, in Étretat. There's a museum dedicated to this world right next to the cliffs.

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!).
