For comparison purposes, tuition fees in a French public engineering school were around 700€/$800 per year when I was there about a decade ago, and I wouldn't expect this to have changed much.
This is without considering students whose parents have low revenue, thus getting access to financial help from the government. This was my case. Technically, I was paid to go to University, with 3600€ per year for being one of the top students.
For more comparison, tuition feeds at my alma mater (a German university) were 500€ per year. Most of that was for the semester ticket, that allowed me to use public transit completely for free across the entire state (Saxony).
2012-2015 was still 700€/year at Centrale - I'll let you guess which one.
Don't forget though that housing, food, "Sécurité Sociale", library, etc. weren't included.
Yes but food and housing is not included either when attending a private school.

Not sure about France, but in the Netherlands now it's 2000 euros. Though I believe people are trying to lower that again.
For comparison purposes, tuition fees in a French university were around 0$
And if you're the best of the best, they pay you to attend (X, ENS)
No they don't. The chaussette has to be repaid...
In the University where I teach, fees are below €500 a year, AFAIK.
>$9100 a year is indeed expensive for French schools, but I'm sure some Americans on the other side of the ponds are chuckling right now.
Good public schools are about that much - or less. At Ann Arbor it would be $8000/year for tuition.
> I checked Epitech tuition fees, it's around 40k€ for the whole 5 years curriculum
