Most students (French and international) are eligible for the APL housing benefit from the CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales). Once registered, you can claim €100 to €280 / month depending on income. International students can apply once they have a French bank account.

Guarantor (Visale)

The free public Visale guarantee (run by Action Logement) is available for students aged 18-30, including international students. Without it, landlords typically require a French personal guarantor.
