Eating at a lower cost
If you are in a financial bind, you can find a variety of low-cost catering options on campus.
Free lunches on Wednesdays
Meet us every Wednesday at the Maison de la Vie Étudiante for a free lunch.
Every Wednesday, student life at the faculty offers a free lunch from 12:30pm to 2pm. This balanced meal consists of a main course and a dessert. It is prepared by Label Gamelle, a social enterprise based in Montreuil.
This scheme is financed by the CVEC and is open to all Sorbonne University students.
Two distribution points :
On the Pierre et Marie Curie Campus, you can pick up your free lunch at two distribution points:
- Maison de la Vie étudiante (between towers 23 and 24)
- Student hostel (tower 53)
Student Health Service breakfasts
Every month, the Student Health Service (Service de Santé Etudiante, SSE) organizes distributions of balanced breakfasts on various Sorbonne University campuses, including the Pierre et Marie Curie campus.
To get your day off to a good start and enjoy a full breakfast, join us on the first Tuesday of every month (except vacations) at the Maison de la Vie Étudiante on the Pierre et Marie Curie campus.
