The Maison des Etudiants Arméniens-Fondation Marie Nubar is the work of the architect Léon Nafilyan who settled in Paris in the 1920s. He designed the project in a style that continues Armenian architectural traditions.
A beautiful inscription "Maison arménienne" placed on the tympanum of the entrance, composed of curious letters in the shape of a bird, welcomes the residents. These are meant to remind us of the richness of the Armenian alphabet and its many artistic variations, such as the historiated letters with ornithological motifs that the architect Léon Nafilyan brilliantly adapted to Latin letters.
Thanks to its 43 houses, the Cité internationale offers a rich cultural and artistic program to all audiences : concerts, screenings, conferences, exhibitions, shows…
Discover them in our cultural agenda CitéScope.
Every house runs thanks to a professional and dedicated team. Whether they are in charge of hospitality, planning, cooking, cleaning, maintenance or security, they are all committed to making sure that your stay in the building goes smoothly.
The campus is yours so take part in organising its social and cultural life! Residents are elected within your house every year. They take care of the organisation and representation of residents with the house’s administration. We also encourage resident engagement in collective projects and in the organisation of cultural and artistic events.
