Health Insurance

Social Security for non European Students

If you are a non European student, you must sign up for French Sécurité Sociale coverage as soon as you arrive.

Social Security for European students

If you are a European student, you first need to be covered by the health insurance from your home country. You will need to show your European Health Insurance Card when you register for French Social Security.

Complementary Health Insurance

Social Security only covers 70% of all medical expenses. A mutuelle reimburses some or all of the difference (for medical consultations, medicine, etc). In Nantes, there are two main providers: SMEBA and LMDE. 

You may also be eligible for the Complémentaire Santé Solidaire, more information here.
