There are two sorts of rent apartment Paris: furnished and unfurnished one. And now you have to think over which sort of it you need for sure. If you are remaining here for several months in France, you can decide going for a furnished accommodation, as in this way you do not have to purchase anything, no headache, and you just need to settle yourself there. Nevertheless, if the duration is rather long, even several years, unfurnished apartment can be much more economic, as you can furnish your flat depending on your funds, easily from a market of used things, and can sell them off while dwelling Paris to somebody else.

2 ways of home renting subsist in France. They are the “do-it-yourself” way and the “agency” method, but choosing the second one you will be to pay some extra money for rent to the agency services. There are no other suggestions for apartments rent Paris.

Of course, the company way is much easier. The only point you are to do is to identify the English speaking agency that will have office workers with that minimum English to get what sort of apartment you need. First of all you have to find in yellow pages the part “immobiliers” (French translation for real property) and then phone in the agencies that you will see. The first phrase of yours should be 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley'), it means “Good day, do you speak English”. If there will be a reply “Sure”, you are welcome to speak on the topic. You have to bear in mind that the payment for Paris short term apartments may be from one month term to a full month.

For the 'do-it-yourself' ones, believe me, it can also be as easy as another one. Only here you will be saving quite a great amount of money. The main difficulty here is in the situation that you should speak with landlords. It will be better to have some help. You may ask for it one of your acquaintances or to meet someone on the net, for example. If you do not have such a man you will have to look for an English speaking lessor that will certainly limit the number of the apartments that you will call on, but do not be afraid you will find such people. And remember that a large number of Paris lessors prefer to give their accommodations to persons who are native English speakers.

The best place to begin your search is American church of Paris where you may see persons who speak English and a great amount of other English information. There is a “FUSAC” magazine that you may buy near the main gate of the church. (Till nowadays the best printed source for Englishmen who need information in France). One more mode for people who need to receive cheap apartments Paris is a web search.
