For non-European students:
After your administrative registration and when you are in France, you will have to register to the French Health Insurance (online process). This Health Insurance is free for all.
2. Complementary health coverage:
Social security covers basic costs; you can subscribe to a "complémentaire" (complementary insurance) for better coverage.
