The interview:
- What are your expectations of the trip?
Mr. Willemsen: that it's going to be a nice mixture of learning, understanding, entertainment and bonding. With blue skies and some nice Parisian sunshine.
- How excited are you for the trip? ( 1-5, 1 least, 5 most):
Mr. Willemsen: this is going to be my fifth Paris trip (for Saxion) but it never is boring. It's always been a 5+ in your terms.
- Which places would you consider visiting during the leisure\free time?
Mr. Willemsen: For a metro-pole like Paris impossible to answer because it depends on your Paris experience: first timer or not.
Even after having visited Paris so many times I still always enjoy walking up and down the Champs Elysees and stroll nearby the Seine river. While biking: just turn the corner and discover randomly secret hide-aways.
- What places do you recommend for students -who are visiting Paris for the first time- to visit?
Mr Willemsen: don't miss the (free) must-sees like Sacré Coeur/Notre Dame (churches) and Louvre/Musée d'Orsay (museums). Students below 27 years have free entrance to state monuments/museums. And of course the Eiffel tower. For eating: Rue Mouffetard in Quartier Latin. One big street with restaurants from all over the world. In general: food is often not too expensive. Drinks however can be outrageous so be careful. Alternative: just buy a freshly baken baguette, get some French cheese and eat it in one of the parks. Cheap and vary Parisian!
- Anything more you would like to add?
Mr. willemsen: for partying explore the Bastille area (Rue de Lappes). Be curious, have an enteprenurial mind, exercise common sense and be careful when biking. Enjoy and have fun!
