New in Paris, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Paris — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Paris, with around 700,000 students, is one of the largest higher-education hubs in Europe and home to long-established universities such as the Sorbonne. The Quartier Latin on the left bank of the Seine has been the student heart of the city for centuries, while neighbourhoods like Oberkampf, Bastille and the Canal Saint-Martin draw the young, going-out crowd in the evenings. Anyone who studies here shuttles between lecture halls, cheap bars around the Rue Mouffetard, techno nights at the Rex Club and open-air concerts for the Fête de la Musique.
