France Expands One-Euro Meal Program To All Students

Europe 1 Paris 13d10d Impact 5

Starting Monday, the 1 euro meal option in university restaurants will be accessible to all students in France. Eligible individuals must present their student card at university restaurants to access the pricing. The French government has expanded the 1-euro university meal program to include nearly 3 million students starting today. Previously, the discounted rate was reserved for approximately 700,000 scholarship students and those in precarious situations. The government is committing 50 million euros to test the expanded system this year. Officials at the regional student services centers (CROUS) have expressed concerns regarding potential overcrowding due to shortages in buildings, equipment, and staff. Under the new policy, students who previously paid approximately 3.30 euros per meal can now access a full meal for one euro.

Under the new policy, students who previously paid approximately 3.30 euros per meal can now access a full meal for one euro. The meal consists of a main course followed by either cheese, dessert, or an appetizer. Higher Education and Research Minister Philippe Baptiste discussed the implementation of the program. The measure, which began today, was included in the 2026 budget as a concession from the government to socialist deputies. Student organizations had previously demanded the measure. While one-euro meals already exist in restaurants managed by CROUS, this expansion applies more broadly.
