Le guide par les étudiant·es, pour les étudiant·es !

The City of Paris, through its Maison étudiante, has taken an interest in this project to bring you the Paris version of the student guide and give you all the tips you need to make the most of your years of study and beyond.

For a long time now, the Maison étudiante has been trying to combat the lack of access to rights, so as to avoid missing out on a good plan or public service that could have made all the difference.

This guide is the fruit of an intense collaboration between the team at éditions génépi, Rim Yehya, director of the Student House, and her team (notably Hamery De Melo and Damien Baloge), who took part in writing the book.

You'll find 6 chapters covering all aspects of student life:

• "Paris Ville Campus", presenting student life in the capital;
• "Housing and Finance", to manage your daily life ;
• "Academic and Professional", to optimize your studies and your career;
• "Taking care of yourself to maintain your well-being;
• "Social life", which promotes integration and relationships ;
• "Administrative declaration", which simplifies the necessary formalities

Enjoy your reading!

Répar: the Parisian network of participatory bicycle workshops

RéPAR was born in autumn 2018 from a simple idea: to form a network of Parisian bicycle self-repair workshops.

These workshops are places where you can learn cycle mechanics in a cooperative and supportive way: everyone is invited to learn and teach others how to maintain and repair their bicycles.

On this site you will find

• information on how to find your nearest RéPAR workshop
• the different actions and interventions of the network
• news from the network and workshops in Paris and the Ile-de-France region
• Contacts for RéPAR and its members

Emmaüs

At the various Emmaüs stores, bicycles can be sold at very attractive prices.

Find the list of stores here.

La boutique sans argent reopened its doors on February 16, 2022 and welcomes you every Wednesday and Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. ?

Location: 2 rue Édouard Robert in the 12th arrondissement (Métro Daumesnil or Michel Bizot).

In a cashless store, you can come :

- Recover objects free of charge to give them a second life,

- Donate things you no longer need but which could still be of use to others. All items are welcome: crockery, small appliances and electronics, games and toys, accessories, decorations, books... Just make sure they're clean, in good condition and hand-carryable (we can't accept furniture or large appliances). For reasons of limited space, we ask you to bring only one bag of items per person. To find out more about the items you can donate, click here...

There's no barter: you can give something without necessarily taking something else, you can take what you need without having brought anything.

- Take part in creative , eco-responsible upcycling, reuse and sewing workshops.

- Drink a coffee or tea, and it's free (only in the 12th arrondissement).

A short video presentation of the association, produced by Marine Samzun for Kaizen Magazine:

In the student quarter of Paris-Diderot University, a new solidarity store dedicated to students opened its doors on February 4. In a 130m2 space, Emmaüs Campüs offers second-hand clothing, accessories, decoration and books, at prices affordable to students.

Those wishing to do so can make donations or become volunteers, to help reduce student poverty. Student poverty is on the increase every year, and has worsened since the start of the health crisis. Emmaüs wanted to get "closer to young people" by opening stores close to universities. Here, students can find second-hand and new items tailored to their everyday needs. Special sales will be organized for students, "with adapted pricing policies". 

Practical info

Emmaüs Campüs Boutique, 46 Allée Paris-Ivry, 75013 Paris
Boutique open Thursday and Friday, 2:30 pm to 7 pm and Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm
