Region Nouvelle-Aquitaine - BAGAGES

What BAGAGES gives you

You do a paid work placement of 3 or 6 months at a company abroad. On top of Erasmus+ co-funding you get a regional allowance of 100 EUR per month. In practice this means about 900 EUR for a 3-month placement or 1,900 EUR for a 6-month placement towards your daily costs. You also get personal support in France and abroad, help finding a host company and a place to live, your round-trip travel (plane or train) paid up to 450 EUR, and your accommodation covered in a shared double room. If you have a disability, the extra costs of travel and stay are covered too. The programme is run by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region with France Travail.
