PLACES I VISITED 

the music festival!
During my exchange, I had the opportunity to visit some beautiful places. The first one we went to was a music festival called “Les Accroches-Coeurs”, in the city center, which also had amazing visuals, as can be seen in the photo. The atmosphere was perfect, and the streets were great to walk around. 

I really loved the music and the lively environment. People were dancing, singing, and enjoying themselves, which made it feel very joyful and energetic. It was a wonderful experience to see the city full of life and celebration.




Terra Botanica!
We also visited Terra Botanica, a large botanical park focused on plants, flowers, and
nature. The park has different themed gardens, greenhouses, and walking paths, which allowed us to explore lots of plants from all over the world. I loved being surrounded by nature, and my favorite part was the butterfly garden, where we could see so many colorful butterflies flying around freely. There were also interactive areas and small texts with information about the life cycle of plants and the importance of nature. Walking through the park was relaxing, and I loved discovering new plants and learning how they grow. It is a perfect place to spend time with family or friends, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots because it is peaceful, fun, and educational at the same time.

Village Troglodyte
Another place I really loved was the Village Troglodyte. It was very interesting to see how people lived in the past, and even today we can see objects and buildings from different times. The village has small houses with some characterictics from earlier centuries, which makes it really interesting. There were also some interactive areas where we could try things and learn more about history, which made it much more fun and engaging. I really enjoyed walking around and discovering all the corners of the village. Small information boards explained many stories about the people who lived there, which helped me imagine life long ago. It was a great way to learn about the past while having a good time, and it felt like traveling back in time.


Visiting these places during my exchange helped me learn more about French culture and history. Each place was different and special, from the music festival to the botanical park and the troglodyte village. I really enjoyed exploring, seeing new things, and spending time in beautiful places. These experiences made my stay in Angers unforgettable and showed me how fun it is to discover new places.

ICE SKATING DAY Today we went ice skating with all the students from our school and the French students from the exchange, and it was honestly one of the most fun days of the whole month. For some people it was their first time on the ice, but the girls, including me, already knew how to skate quite well, so we helped the rest of the group. There were some falls, of course, but we were all laughing so much that it just made everything even more memorable. The atmosphere at the ice rink was amazing. There was music playing in the background, and at one point they even put a Spanish song, which surprised us a lot and made everyone cheer. We skated in groups, holding hands, trying not to fall, and helping each other stay balanced. Even if some of us weren’t very good at skating, we all enjoyed it a lot. It was such a simple plan, but it felt really special because we were all together, sharing a new experience in a place far from home. Definitely a day I will never forget! Specially bec...

 THINGS MY EXCHANGE HAS TAUGHT ME This exchange has been much more than just a trip to another country — it has been a real life experience that changed the way I see things. Living far from home, adapting to a new language, a different rhythm, and another way of doing things taught me how important it is to be flexible and open-minded. I learned to let go of fear, to be more independent, and to trust myself in situations that were completely new to me. Sharing daily life with another family made me realize how kindness and small gestures can make someone feel at home, even in a different country. I also understood that stepping out of my comfort zone is not always easy, but it is where you grow the most. Little by little, I became more confident, more curious, and more willing to try new things. More than anything, this exchange helped me discover that I am capable of much more than I thought. It showed me that the world is bigger than what I already know, and that learning from o...

TASTING FRENCH FOOD AND THEIR GASTRONOMY Sara and I cooking dinner! One of the best parts of my exchange was trying French food. Every day I had the chance to discover new flavors and typical dishes that are very different from what I usually eat in Spain. At lunch, we often had pasta as a first course, or sometimes quinoa and rice, which was very typical. We usually always had some type of meat as the second course, and it was always really good. We usually had a yogurt or a sweet dessert on the school. I noticed that in France people eat less fruit than we do in Spain, and they also use a lot of butter when cooking. However, this was not a problem, because the food was still very tasty. In the French diet, cheese is never missing. They served it even as a side dish in the school canteen! One of the things that surprised me the most was that they did not eat much fish unless it was breaded, like they served it at school. When they did eat fish, it was usually salmon.  This was n...
