Group travel experience

Things to do: We went to see local villages and markets, and got to see Bordeaux and Paris on or journey Food: Most food we ate was self cooked. We mostly ate Baguette and pasta and put a spin on it with different sauces or spreads everyday. We didn’t really experience real french food but I liked our cooking Safety: As I previously said, one shouldn’t wander around the beach or the forrest alone at night but other than that it’s super safe, I didn’t notice any stealing and there is security service Budget: The most expensive factor was the journey by train. If I recall correctly it was about 300€ per person. We paid about 150€ each for the camp site. For food we sometimes ate pizza but mostly went to the local supermarket Accommodation: I shared a tent with two friends. The atmosphere was were relaxed and we made lots of friends during our stay. I must say that there happened one unfortunate coincidence that made me feel less secure than before. I recommend not wandering from the beach to the camp site (~300m) alone at night. But my overall experience was great! Recommendations: I always felt very safe on the journey and apart from very little incidents there wasn’t anything to worry about (of course one needs to be careful always)

Depend where you are, which city of France. Sometimes, I’m not feeling safe the night when I walk alone. A lot of adressed. I prefer walk with friends the night for sure, it’s more safety because there are a lot of bad stories.

Couple travel experience

It was so wonderful, we travelled with our car in which we slept and always slept in the nature away from the civilization. The nature there is so beautiful, especially the seas, in which we were half of the day because it was so warm.

Couple travel experience

It was the first time I travel to Europe with my friend and it was fantastic. We were afraid of things and experiences that we didn’t know but I have to say that it changed my mind. I learnt a lot from that travel and there will be always good people in this world
