STOP SMOKING & GO FASTER ! Discover the New World of Transportation

General description

Have you ever thought how important transportation was in our everyday life ? Are you sure ??

Well, to be aware of it, imagine you’re luckily accepted to a BEST event and that all modern transportation don’t exist ? How would you survive a 15 days horse-riding trip ??!!!!

Hopefully engineers made our life much easier inventing fast transportation systems (which are getting cleaner and cleaner). That’s why you will take part to the clean revolution (not the French one, no casualties allowed !!;) of transportation.

Indeed, during this event, we’ll make a great general overview on all kind of transport, from planes to trains, cars and even subways; with a visit in well-known companies for each transport (Airbus, Toyota, TGV…).

So mainly, you’ll be provided a lot of information about the new transportation systems either made or used in France. Do you really believe that this great topic will be the only main thing we’ll do ?? Come on !! Of course not !!! Another main issue of our event is FUN, FUN, FUN and FUN again !!!!

At the same time you will discover our city, our region and their secrets. And maybe have the great opportunity to enjoy a week-end trip to Paris (it’s far to be sure but we’re trying our BEST to make you happy !) But don’t worry we’ll find something else if it’s not possible ;-)

And, once night has come, you will discover surprises we are preparing just for you. Furthermore, we will show you some typical habits of our University... and even French (kiss) lessons for motivated people :) !!
