Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris (), also known under its abbreviation of CIUP or often as Cité U (pronouced see-tay-ooh) among Parisiens, is a private park and foundation in Paris. Since 1925, it has provided general and public services, including the maintenance of several dozen residences for students and visiting academics in the Île-de-France region. It is officially recognized as a foundation of public utility in France.
The CUIP has several structures built by architects of note, include Le Corbusier, Willem Marinus Dudok and Claude Parent. The residences are organized mostly by nationality, although the residents in each maison are not necessarily from the country implied by the naming of the building.
The CIUP is bounded to the south by the peripherique, a busy highway that circles the border of Paris, and to the North by the beautiful Parc Montsouris.
