I lived in this city for a year on an Exchange. It’s a poor city, but the people are kind. If you’re travelling, look up the local Irish Pub. The boys are always enthusiastic to chat to those who speak english. If you’re a young person, i’d reccomend the pub “Le Corto” at the bottom of the “Rue de Montagne”- (the cobblstone hill where the shops are in the centre of the city). Be VERY careful late at night, especially around the train station. The city is always full of exchange students, but few tourists.
