Engineering students residence
The Maison des Mines et des Ponts is the Parisian residence for students from the following 3 engineering schools:
The Ecole des Mines de Paris, member of the Université Paris Sciences et Lettres ‘’PSL’’,
The Ecole des Ponts ParisTech,
l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées ‘’ENSTA Paris’’
The MdMP is reserved from September to June for Parisian students from these three Schools.
A good half of these students stay on site during the summer holidays, in particular to do internships in companies.
Accommodation opened during summer to foreign students
The Maison des Mines et des Ponts is opened all year round and welcomes other students than those of the 3 engineering schools, students of preparatory classes during their oral competitive exams, interns and young foreigners from June to September for stays of 1 week to 3 months.
Each summer we welcome several hundred foreigners.

For us, asking for a room at the MdMP at the beginning of our studies seemed like a good choice even though we had never set foot there thanks to the attractive rents for the 5th district and the promise of a community life.
After a few weeks of stay, we quickly understood how much this choice had been more than beneficial, and it is now clear that our student life owes a lot to the MdMP.
Indeed, what would be better than having in the same building rooms to make music, sports, watch movies, meet and even wash your laundry?
You are always sure to find someone enthusiastic for any activity, and the planning of the associations takes full advantage of the potential of the accommodation. The great hall in the basement can be used for all types of gatherings: shows, films, parties, sport.
Legal structure, management and contact
La Maison des Mines et des Ponts has the status of a University Residence (in accordance with the Equality and Citizenship Law No. 2017-86) and operates under a dual legal structure:
The HLM company, owner of the double building, is chaired by Christian MICHAUD. It is important to note that our HLM company, MdMP, is in full compliance with the ELAN law following a merger with AXENTIA, part of the HLM Habitat en Région Group.
The management association, chaired by Pascal RYBAK, is responsible for managing both the double building and three additional apartments located in the 5th arrondissement (13 rue des Lyonnais and 31 boulevard Saint-Germain) and the 15th arrondissement (15 boulevard Lefebvre).
The management association is led by Barth LAFONT, assisted by Sarah CHAVANNE, Deputy Director, and Franck WYNHANT, Director of Works. It also includes a team of maintenance staff and caretakers.
