So, in other to save cost, and maximize my experience in Paris, I had to stay with a scholar in Paris.

In La Defense, I took a bus (258) going to IFP school. The transport system in Paris is so simple that once you know how to read, write, and follow google map directions or the various direction apps such as (Moovit, mappy, etc) finding your way to any location in Paris or France will be as simple as ABCD.

So this is the street of IFP school in Bois Preau stop.

Hi Guys,

Let's continue with the story.

Who is ready for it?

Gavrelino123:
Nice one bro.

I need your advise on the question below.

For someone who got admission in Paris for an M2 program and Bourgogne M1, both masters- Which of the two cities would you recommend for the person in terms of Cost of living, Easy Integration and student jobs.

Generally, what are your recommendations about both cities and which of them would you recommend?

Your Advise is extremely needed here bro.

Thanks

@ the emboldened
Cost of Living: Obviously Bourgogne
Easy Integration: Bourgogne
Students jobs: If it exists in France, then it must be Paris.

However, I think it goes beyond these. You have an M2 and M1 program, these should be a major deciding factors. The two programs coupled with the factors you listed should be considered.

stsparrow:
thanks for your reply. The last stage requires me to upload some documents and I do not have these documents, at least not yet. They are Valid student residence permit and student card. this suggests that one cannot complete the application process without those documents. What do you think.
Thanks once again.

Are they obligatory documents to upload? Because while applying, you will be asked to select if you already have a housing or not. It is important to note that Visale is for housing/accommodation guarantee.

I applied last week, and already got the Visale. I can't remember exactly if I uploaded any attestation of residence. I have it but don't know if I uploaded one. Since you don't have student's card, you can upload your admission letter. Also, residence permit for now should be the Visa. If you don't have one yet, then you might have to hold on with the application.

When you get to France for instance without the Visale, your accommodation key can be given to you, however, they won't issue you the attestation of residence without Visale.

thanks.

Finally.

So tomorrow,

I hope to visit Eifel tower, Notre Dame and PSG Stadium. I hope I am able to visit all of these places between tomorrow and next.

Good night

La defense has a great view, the sun iced its beauty and it was really nice.

Please see below the pictures of la defense.

Let's do this.

I never knew that while everything were green on my leaving Nantes, that my phone isn't giving a go ahead order. I was almost frustrated.

The Hauwei product nearly disappointed me. Not long after we left Nantes that the phone switched off. The sudden trip off isn't something new to me, but I wonder what will make a less than a year Hauwei phone to develop such fault. I tried everything possible and was already preparing a plan B when I get to Paris in other to avoid being stranded at the station.

But thanks to God who didn't allow my Guardian Angel to stay far from me. After I left it and was thinking about the next plan, I decided to try to power it again and this time around, it came up. The plan B was to get a new phone at the station .

Let's leave pictures from La Defense till night. The darker it is in Nigeria, the brighter the pictures.

Just to inform you, I am in Paris and everything went smoothly

I got to Charles De Gaulle Etoile and changed to M1, headed to La Defense.

Now, La Defense is the Industrial Hub of Paris. Main Paris region do not have high rise buildings. High rise buildings housing the headquarters of top companies in France are located in La Defense. In La Defense, you will find the headquarters of EDF, Energie, Total, etc.

Also, there's this tall gate-like structure in La Defense called Grande Arche. It's very huge and the black spots you see are actually humans.

It was difficult to capture the entire structure in a single shot, so I had to move a bit backwards

We got to Paris MontPannase station by 11:49am.

I got down and went to the underground metro station. I took M6 to Charles De Gaulle Etoile.

Pictures shows the underground metro while I waited for the arrival of M6

To boarding

These are random pictures I took at the station in Nantes.

Hi guys,

I am currently in Paris and settled.

I will continue from where I stopped with the update.


Shall we?

Good day ladies and gentlemen

But before I leave you this morning, let me show you our conveyer to Paris

In 11 minutes time, I will leave Nantes, for the first time on my own after 10 months of studies.

Uploading is taking time, maybe I will wait until I get to Paris and set down

It's currently a sunny day, and the sun looks good in Nantes.

Pictures are too large to load, nairaland delaying uploads.

Ladies and gentlemen, the trip to Paris is in progress. I will be leaving Nantes by 11:40 Paris Time, that is 10:40 Nigerian time.

It's a 2hrs journey via speed train, InOuigo.

I left my house this morning at exactly 10:09 Paris time via Tram 2, Gare Pontrosseau, a 20 minutes ride to Commerce, the city center, then took another Tram, Tram 1 Ranzay, in a 3 minutes ride to the train station

Deepocean:
Well, let me quickly make my comment for the first time on this thread.

I have been following since the day of creating the thread, and I really love the way you have been updating with detailed description of every places you have been to even with pictures.

I will also like to commend you for balancing the fun with educative posts, which have made the thread fun and educative all the ways.

I believe your calm personality in real life will be something enviable suggesting to me through the ways you have been responding to some posts here.

We are expecting pictures from Paris, but be careful in your tour so that Parisians won't do you strong things lol, although I'm thinking those guys wouldn't be as described.

Question: Na true talk be say na you wan take Barbara

Thanks brother. I will be careful but not too careful and my guardian Angel will be with me also.

I hope they aren't as described.

As for Barbara, she's still free and open bro .

Thanks for the input.

Since no one asked for participant number 6. I will still present him

The good pictures from the Canon Camera are too large and nairaland keeps telling me they are too large and can't be uploaded here.

So bad

Lol, you guys are funny. So the ladies have already been shared?

You all should remain that I know nothing.


Tomorrow, I will be visiting Paris, so in advance we should be on the lookout for detailed pictorial description of my journey to Paris.
I have been told to be very or say extremely careful in Paris and to live in the moment with my Phones, ATM, or other items that could be snatched at the station, in the bus, and tram.

Parisians, could you please confirm this and provide tips on moving around in Paris?

To that effect, Lagos mode will be activated while in Paris

I can't upload pictures some pictures because they are too large

Deltayankeeboi:
Except you want to buy directly from shop.

I was actually talking of buying from guys.

There are guys that get IPhone products in bulk from their clients, they sell at much cheaper rate. You should have one or two yahoo guys you know or have close relationship with that can sell and ship it to you except you are the judgemental type. But it's just a suggestion.

Or check the technology market section. There are legit guys there too.

IPhone XS Max is still OK even if you don't get 11 pro Max.

https://www.nairaland.com/4474657/order-goods-ebay-amazon-all

Thanks bro. I will just wait until I can afford it.

I don't know any yahoo guys let alone having one.

I will look at the attached link. Thanks bro.

Deltayankeeboi:
You can always get new iPhone 11 pro Max or the likes for much cheaper price.

Where bro? The last time I checked their store here in Nantes, it costs about 1k euros.

Brokeloser:
Just started money heist season 2,please where can I get the Spanish dub with English subtitles since people say the Spanish version is better than than the English version

Netflix bro.


I finished Money Heist last night by 3am. Lol

Finally, we ended the day in a Thai restaurant. I can't exactly say what it felt like eating what I ordered.

However, one thing I can say is that I wasn't enjoying it but it has to finish or atleast reduce it in order to minimize waste of money.

It's also shocking to see how the restaurant is one of the most patronized restaurant in Nantes. Each time I pass through that place, its always filled with people, mostly whites.

Now, if they enjoy tasty foods, I see no reason why there are no African restaurants in Nantes. Nigerian dishes should be categorized as "most wanted" if what the fvck I ate yesterday tastes sweet to many people.

All of us actually shared same opinion on this.

Group pictures

So it was time to access the water

Isn't happiness the most important thing in life?

Being happy is a good 'vanity'

Ladies time.

When we all met, I phone was relegated to my pocket Obviously, one with iPhone 11 pro is majority. So all these pictures were taken with Arnold's iPhone 11 pro. Honestly, the camera is very good, or say extremely good.

One day, I will have free 1.1k euros to get some of these latest iPhones.

The pictures taken with Babara's camera is still being processed.

You can expect to have here littered with pictures.
