IFI Rouen

Rouen offers a fairly good range of activities. There is a hockey rink located on an island in the middle of the Seine, where I attended minor league hockey games and games sponsored by the students at my university. There are hiking and biking trails near the school that are fun to explore. Favorite night spots include the Central Cafe, the Emporium Galorium and the Underground Pub. There are several cafes and restaurants to choose from also, including brasseries that serve gourmet French cuisine for a good price, and couscous restaurants are popular and abundant as well.

If you want the best pub in the place, try O'Kallaghans. This is the best pub in Rouen, with the best, if not perviest barmen in Rouen! Try flashing your boobs for a free bottle of wine!! If you are stll standing at the end of the night, the kiosk is a really cheesy joint that you can boogie all night long.

Cafe Kuriex, Irish pubs like Highlands and O'Kallaghans. Velvet is a great dance club. The local sandwicherie located in the strip mall near campus is the best value for your money

Any of the bars and the Velvet. Do not miss French Week (a school organized tour of northern France) and any of the numerous get togethers with the students of IFI.

La Luna was a great after-hours place. In general, tons of hidden gems. Just ask the locals! The Irish Pub and Scottish pubs were also great.

Lots of nightlife and travel opportunities. BUT if you use $, be prepared to blow through a huge amount of money cause the exchange rate is terrible.
