Since 1925, it has provided general and public services, including the maintenance of 23 residences for students and visiting academics in the Île-de-France region. 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. Students of 132 different nationalities were living in the Cité internationale in 2006.
