Final comments
Erasmus is a great experience. Mine was different from my friends experience because I was not surrounded by spanish people and tortilla de patatas all the time.
At the begining was pretty hard to find friends and people that I like, but in a few months everything was happiness. French atmosphere!! That was what I wanted and I had it!

Personal comments
I think they offered rooms in people's houses. But in Paris if you want to have a nice place to live you have to look for it few months before.
