What is the insurance policy for international students?

Students enrolled in a public university in France are automatically insured by the "sécurité sociale étudiant" (student social security) provided that they are under 28 years old. Your tuition fees include the corresponding insurance fee.  Students over age 28 must apply on their own for social security.  Fees are minimal for social security in France.

Are there any university restaurants?

Yes, there are many University Restaurants in Paris. You can find their address and the nearest restaurants from the campus here.
