What a month costs, where it goes and how it compares.
980€a month
EstimateUsually between 785 and 1,175 € a month.
France average · 895 €
More expensive than 95% of Erasmus destinations.
This is an estimate: it starts from Eurostat price indices (2024) for rent, food, transport and leisure in France, adjusted for city size and checked against Numbeo (2026-09) and the European Commission's Erasmus student survey. Think of a shared flat and cooking at home. It is not a market price and does not include flights or your home university fees.
