State-guaranteed student loan
The French government guarantees your student loan up to 70% of the amount borrowed.
For this, you need to contact one of the partner banks: Société Générale, Banque Populaire, Banque Postale, etc. Although these banks offer banking services through their respective online banks when they have them, so pay close attention to which institution you apply to. Online banks cannot offer the state-guaranteed loan. Once you've found a traditional bank willing to offer you a loan, it's time to sign the contract.
This will include all the conditions of your agreement with them. Make sure you read and understand every part of the contract before you sign it, because once you've signed it, there's no going back, and you'll have to respect all its conditions. A loan commits you and must be repaid.
Please contact us if you have any questions on this subject.
