To study in France, besides feeling the romantic and academic atmosphere of this country, it is essential to have delicious food. Compared with going to high-end French restaurants, the canteens of universities are also a good place to go! Next, I have arranged for you to study in France. You must not miss these cheap and delicious canteens. Let's have a look.
a French meal usually consists of soup or entre ou hors doeuvre, main course (plat de viande ou de poisson garni), lettuce (salade), cheese (fromage), dessert, etc.
For students who are nervous, the most convenient thing is to eat in the university canteen, which has more than 8 university canteens in France. Restaurants universitaires in France serve three or four dishes, such as appetizers, main courses and snacks. Bread can be taken at will, and drinks must be purchased separately. Generally, the opening hours are from 11: 45 to 14: , and from 18: to 2: . Students with CROUS cards can buy discount tickets (subsidized by the government).
In France, the bigger the city, the higher the food cost, and the difference can reach more than 4%. However, the French government has a benefit for students, that is, students eat in the university cafeteria, which costs less than 3 euros. How cheap is this? In France, a McDonald's Big Mac hamburger costs 3 euros. Eating out costs at least eight euros. (So generally speaking, international students choose to cook by themselves. However, this kind of discount is not available to everyone in some places. In France, the university living area is separated from the teaching area, and there are canteens in the living area, as well as the teaching area. For example, some canteens in Paris are independent on the street, so there is little concept of "students of our school" when eating, but sometimes "local students" are cheaper.
The canteens of French universities can be eaten by outsiders, which is more expensive. Like Paris, students are two and a half dollars, and non-students are doubled by five dollars. If you have international student identity card, you can eat in the student dining hall. These restaurants are usually called TROUS. I often go to PORT ROYAL and CITé UNIVESITAIR, and I can find them when I leave the subway station. There is a black man standing at the entrance of the canteen, checking everyone's documents very strictly. But I think even five dollars is cheaper than the restaurant outside. There are probably not many tourists in the canteens in other places, so the management is not strict.
In Lille, the canteen in the university is managed by CROUS (a powerful organization that manages a lot of affairs in the school), and students have a meal of 2.5 euros (later changed to 2.6, of course, that's another story). You need to buy a COUPON before eating in the student canteen, and you don't need to order food. Everything is there, as clear as a bell, and you can choose what you want to eat. Generally, one main course and two or three side dishes can be put on a plate. The main courses are steak, chicken legs, spaghetti, etc. There are many side dishes, such as cheese, yogurt, cupcakes, small dishes of vegetables (corn, lettuce, etc.) that you can mix at will, and you can have a small drink, but this drink is counted as a side dish. When some friends first went, the first few meals were fresh, but it didn't take long, especially when they were not in good health, and they felt that it was a living death because there were too many cold dishes. Like that kind of cheese or yogurt, they are kept at low temperature, and sometimes they are too cold, so they will have diarrhea.
under the initiative of Greenpeace, ecological products and green products have won the support of the government in France, and the government has given practical help to the farms that produce green food. At present, at least one meal a week is cooked with pure green food in the canteens of French schools. Green products now account for 2% of agricultural products in France, and it is planned to reach 6% by 212. France has strict regulations on green food, and the products have special labels, requiring that no pesticides, pesticides and other chemicals are used at all. In 29, Europe will have a unified European logo, but now, the European logo is not as strict as the French logo. For example, the European logo allows .9% of genetically modified organisms to appear, while France requires none at all.
In addition, Moule frite in northern France is worth mentioning. Do you know what it is? It's just a big plate with milk, and then a lot of shellfish are put in it, and the other plate is filled with French fries. There is also Turkish barbecue, which tastes good; Another thing worth mentioning is the baguette that can be bought in the supermarket or in boulangerie. It can be 1 meter long. This kind of bread just came out is very delicious, fragrant and crunchy. Once you are hungry, this stuff is the first choice! ! !
Buy a French sandwich in a roadside shop, which is the kind of bread with lettuce salad, ham, eggs or tuna in a long Baguette. One is usually 12 ~ 15 francs, but there are also 1 francs, but you have to take your chances.
In addition, remember to carry mineral water with you. You can buy it in the supermarket and fill it in the hotel after drinking it, because the mineral water from the roadside vending machine is very expensive, and a small bottle costs almost 1 francs. There are only small grocery stores in Paris, and there are no canned or aluminum foil-wrapped drinks, so it is very important to carry mineral water with you, remember!
