November 3 route: from the Panthéon to Medef
In Le Parisien on October 28, Interfac IDF says it filed a 4.7km route agreed at its assembly on the evening of October 27. The places and streets reported, in order, are:
Place du Panthéon → Boulevard Saint-Michel southbound → Port-Royal → Boulevard du Montparnasse → Boulevard des Invalides → Avenue Duquesne → Avenue Bosquet → Medef headquarters, 55 Avenue Bosquet.
This is the route filed by Interfac; the prefectural decision remains unverified.

Who is calling the November 3 student protest?
According to Le Parisien, Interfac Île-de-France filed the route. Solidaires93 also lists the Panthéon gathering.
November 3: Paris march, school blockades and SNCF gathering
USL and Union étudiante call for school and university blockades on November 3 and 5, according to Le Parisien/AFP on October 31. Railway unions, meanwhile, plan a pay gathering in Saint-Denis on November 3 ahead of the November 5 strike.
Why are school and university students protesting?
The ten-measure platform published by Union étudiante with USL calls for ending selection, expanding places and improving study resources. It distinguishes selection from retaining a national application tool.

Our view: could the student movement continue?
In our view, one march may not be enough to ease student unrest. The government has announced admissions reform, smaller classes and more places, but many measures are scheduled for 2027–2028. The gap between students’ immediate concerns and that timetable remains; debt and budget constraints also make funding choices harder.
A path towards compromise may only come into view after a winter of repeated negotiations.
