SOCIAL SECURITY AND MUTUAL INSURANCE
Signing up with the "sécurité sociale" healthcare system is mandatory. This will enable you to be reimbursed for some of your medical expenses. Taking out a mutual insurance plan will enable you to supplement these refunds.
Since 31 August 2019, students no longer have a specific social security scheme.
