The Information for Those Individuals who Demand Accommodation in France

There are two types of apartments to rent Paris: furnished and non-furnished one. And now you need to think over what type of it you need for sure. If you are remaining here for several months in Paris, you may decide going for a furnished flat, as in this way you do not have to purchase anything, no headache, and you just need to settle yourself here. But if to look at it from the other side, for instance you have to live there for a couple of years, it will be much cheaper to rent unfurnished apartments. You may go to a market of used things and furnish your flat with furniture you like most.

So, you have only 2 ways to find an accommodation in Paris, they are: the “do-it-yourself” method and the “agency” method. But bear in mind that selecting the second method you should pay an extra month rent for the agency facilities. You will have to select one of these means to get apartments rent Paris.

The easiest way is to turn to an agency. You should find a company with English speaking employees who will understand the language well enough for you to speak about the apartments you need. Find yellow pages and there look for “immobiliers” that means from the French language real property and call in these companies. The very first words of yours must be 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley'), it implies “Good day, do you speak English”. If there will be a reply “Yes”, you are welcome to speak on the point. You are to remember that the payment for Paris short term apartments may be from 1 month period to a full month.

For the 'do-it-yourself' ones, trust me, it can also be as simple as another one. But if to parallel with the preceding way you will preserve much more funds with the help of this method. The only difficulty here is in the case that you will have to converse with landlords. Here, you need a help of someone who is local resident here, it can be either one of your friends or a man that you have met on the internet, for instance. In the case when you do not have such opportunity, the number of the apartments for you to call on will definitely diminish. But do not despair you will have a great amount of opportunities to find an English speaking lessor. And you are having got this advantage with you that quite a large number of landlords (they take it or not) prefer giving rooms to the 'native' English speakers.

The best place to begin your search is American church of Paris where you will meet persons who speak English and a great amount of other English resources. There is a “FUSAC” journal that you may buy near the main gate of the church. (Till nowadays the greatest printed source for English speaking people who require information in France). One more method for persons who require to receive short term apartment Paris is a web search.
