Salut ! J’ai 18 ans et je vais bientôt déménager à Paris pour mes études. J’aimerais rencontrer de nouvelles personnes de mon âge.

J’ai hâte de découvrir la ville, essayer de nouveaux cafés, me promener, visiter des musées, faire les friperies et créer de beaux souvenirs.

Si tu es aussi nouveau/nouvelle à Paris ou que tu cherches simplement à te faire des amis, n’hésite pas à m’envoyer un message ! Ce serait super d’avoir des personnes avec qui explorer la ville une fois que j’y serai.

Je suis aussi ouverte à apprendre le français, donc si tu es français(e) ou que tu parles couramment français et que ça ne te dérange pas de m’aider à pratiquer, ce serait génial !

Hi! I’m 18 , traveling with my sister. I’m in Florence today and tomorrow morning, then I’ll be in Rome (near the Vatican) until July 10.

I’d love to meet some Italians around my age (17–22) to chat, explore the city, grab a gelato or coffee, and experience Italy through local recommendations. I’m also happy to meet fellow travelers!

If you’re around, feel free to comment or send me a DM.

Okay... I heard Italian guys were attractive, but I didn't expect Florence to prove the rumors right. 😂🇮🇹

I'm 18 and visiting for a few days with my sister. Any recommendations for places where people around my age hang out? Cafés, parks, events, or anywhere it's easy to meet other teens or travelers?

Not looking for anything weird—just hoping to make some friends before I leave!

Hi everyone!

My sister and I (first-time visitors) will be staying in Florence from June 30 to July 4. Our Airbnb is on Via Francesco Puccinotti, so we’ll be based just outside the historic center.

We’re looking for recommendations on:

•	Must-see attractions (we’re planning to visit the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery)

•	Hidden gems that tourists often miss

•	Best food spots (especially authentic pasta, pizza, gelato, and tiramisu)

•	Sunset viewpoints

•	Nightlife or evening areas that are safe and fun to walk around

•	Day trips (Pisa, Siena, or Cinque Terre—what would you recommend?)

•	Any museums or attractions we should book in advance

•	Tips for getting around using public transport

We’ll be arriving in Florence late at night by train from Rome, so any advice for our first evening is also appreciated.

Bonjour à tous ! 👋

Je vais déménager à Paris en septembre pour mes études. Mon université est située dans le 15e arrondissement et je cherche des conseils sur les quartiers les plus pratiques et sûrs pour se loger.

Je suis également à la recherche de nouvelles amitiés ! 😊 J'aimerais rencontrer des étudiants ou des personnes vivant déjà à Paris. Je pense que ce serait sympa de faire connaissance en ligne avant mon arrivée.

Je m'intéresse au cinéma, à l'art, aux voyages, aux cafés et à la découverte de nouveaux endroits.

Petite précision : je ne parle pas encore français (j'utilise un traducteur 😅), mais j'espère apprendre rapidement. Je parle anglais.

Merci beaucoup pour vos conseils et n'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un message !

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm an 18F international student who will be moving to Paris this September for university. My campus is in the 15th arrondissement, and I'm currently trying to figure out where it would be most convenient and safe to live.

I'd love any advice on neighborhoods that are student-friendly, safe, reasonably well-connected by public transport, and practical for commuting to the 15th.

I'm also hoping to make some friends before I arrive! 😊 I think it would be nice to get to know people online first and build some connections before meeting up in person once I'm settled in Paris.

A little about me: I'm into filmmaking, cinema, art, travel, exploring cafés, and discovering new places. If you're a student, moving to Paris soon, or already living there, feel free to reach out and tell me a bit about yourself!

Thanks in advance for any accommodation tips or friendship recommendations 🇫🇷✨

Hi everyone,

I'm an international student moving to Paris this September and I'm looking for accommodation near Paris 15th, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Vanves, or Boulogne-Billancourt.

My budget is around €800–900/month.

I'm open to:• A studio apartment• A student residence• A shared apartment (colocation) with a private bedroom and preferably a private bathroom

My priorities are:• Safe neighborhood• Good metro/public transport connections• Furnished accommodation• Easy commute to the Issy/Paris 15th area

I've been searching through Leboncoin, SeLoger, Studapart, and other platforms. Unfortunately, Leboncoin requires a European phone number for account verification, which I don't currently have as an international student.

If anyone knows of available rentals, student residences, trusted landlords, Facebook groups, or has recommendations for neighborhoods that fit my budget, I would really appreciate the help.

I'd also love to hear from other international students about how they found accommodation before arriving in France.

Thank you so much for any advice or leads!

Hey everyone

I’m a student (looking to connect with people around 18–22) and I’ll be moving to Paris soon. I’m looking to make friends before I arrive and once I settle in.

I’d love to connect with people who already live in Paris or are also moving there around the same time. I’m open to hanging out, exploring the city, cafés, walks, museums, and just meeting new people in general.

It would be nice to start chatting online first and then meet up in person once I’m there 😊

If you’re around Paris or planning to move soon, feel free to comment or DM me!

Hi everyone!

My sister and I are planning our first trip to Italy and would love some advice.

Dates: June 30 – July 7

Current plan:

•	Milan: 2 nights

•	Florence: 2 nights

•	Rome: 3 nights

We’re trying to keep the trip relaxed rather than rushing around. July 5 is my sister’s birthday, so we’d like to spend the entire day in Rome without any travel.

We’re also considering booking a round-trip flight to Milan because it’s cheaper than flying into Milan and out of Rome, and then taking a high-speed train back to Milan before our return flight.

Questions:

Is 2 nights in Milan worth it, or should we reduce Milan and add another night to Florence or Rome?

Is this itinerary too rushed or reasonably paced?

Any hotel areas you would recommend in Milan, Florence, and Rome?

Any must-do experiences we are missing?

Is returning to Milan for the flight home worth the savings?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi everyone :)

I'm moving to Paris this September and I'm currently looking for accommodation in Paris 15th, Issy-les-Moulineaux, or Vanves.

I'm looking for a studio or student residence. If you know of any available places, reliable websites, or have any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm also open to connecting with people who are looking for roommates or who have recently gone through the housing search process in these areas.

🥲

Heyy :)

I'll be joining ESRA Paris this September. I was wondering if anyone else here is starting this year or is already studying there?

I'm really excited about moving to Paris, but honestly a little nervous too since it'll be my first time living abroad. I've always loved films and storytelling, which is what led me to choose film school in the first place.

Outside of that, I love music, travelling, discovering cute cafés, and exploring new places. I'm hoping to meet some people before the semester starts because I currently know almost nobody in Paris 😭

So yeah, if you're joining ESRA, studying in Paris, or just want to chat, feel free to reach out!

Hi everyone!

I’m an international student moving to Paris soon for film school and I’m hoping to meet new people before I arrive.

A little about me:

•	18-year-old student

•	Love films, photography, music, cafés, and exploring new places

•	Excited (and slightly terrified 😭) about moving to a new city

I’d love to connect with other students or people around my age in Paris. Any recommendations for places to meet people, student events, or things I should know before moving would be appreciated too!

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently been accepted to ESRA Paris for Film Studies, and I’m really excited (and a little nervous) about moving to Paris.

I’d love to connect with other students who are going to ESRA this year or are already studying there. It would be great to make some friends before classes start and hear about your experiences with the school.

A few things I’m curious about:

•	What’s the atmosphere like at ESRA?

•	How are the professors and practical film projects?

•	What’s student life like in Paris?

•	Any advice for international students?

Feel free to comment or send me a message. It would be nice to meet people before the semester begins!
