So a Saturday night seems like a busy one in Tours. Seven of us Irish girls headed out at 10pm. The buses run until 1am which is a useful and cheap way to get to town. Irish Garda Age cards are accepted straight away to our delight. The drink in the clubs is expensive as I found out when paying six euro for a vodka and coke in order to gain entry to the dance floor. However bars can be more reasonable.
Dress code: heels are a no. Short dresses are more than likely a no. Tights or pants are the norm. Fake tan is a never.
The men, as you would expect, are very flirty but most are good craic also. We experienced a few scary moments on our walk home at 5am (yes the clubs stay open until then, 6am in fact!). Shona and I were followed by a car full of guys we had met in one of the bars. They were very persistent and we had to alter our route home a few times. Luckily we met a group of lovely locals our age and they walked us some of the way home. The French are not so standoffish after all!!
We will have more nights out to come for sure especially with the price of alcohol in shops being far more reasonable than in Ireland. One last thing to note is that you definitely consume more drink on nights out here and I certainly paid for it the next day! A bientot mes amies!!
