Our Event: Le Grand Départ
Le Grand Départ: Prepare for your new life in France with confidence
Each year, Edufrance organizes an exclusive event for students who have obtained their visa: Le Grand Départ.
<br>
This moment of connection brings together all students preparing to leave, to help them with the final steps of their move.
Understand the arrival procedures
Our experts walk you through all the formalities to complete upon arrival: social security registration, visa validation, opening a bank account, securing housing, insurance, and more.
Meet other students before you leave
It’s also the perfect opportunity to build connections with other students heading to the same city or region — so you won’t feel alone once you get there.
Practical tips to start off strong
We share our best recommendations, drawn from the experience of hundreds of students we’ve supported: what to pack, useful apps, key habits for the first few weeks, and more.
