Health care

Once in France, you must have appropriate health coverage, regardless of your reasons for coming to INRAE or the length of your stay.

Depending on your specific situation, you may be covered by a health insurance plan in your home country, France’s public health insurance plan, or another health insurance plan entirely. This section of the website provides a wealth of general and practical information to help you understand France’s health care system. The topics covered include public health insurance (l’Assurance maladie), complementary health insurance, family health coverage, health care professionals and services, and the hospital system.
