The Best Proposition for Individuals who Go to Paris
August 14th, 2008
There are two types of apartment for rent Paris: furnished and non-furnished one. And now you are to think over which kind of it you really need. If you are staying there for several months in France, you can determine going for a furnished flat, as in this way you don't need to purchase anything, no headache, and you just require to install yourself there. But if to look at it from the other side, for instance you are to stay 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.
Two ways of home renting exist in France. They are the “do-it-yourself” way and the “agency” method, but selecting the second one you will have to pay some additional funds for rent to the agency facilities. There are no other offers for apartments rent Paris.
The easiest method is to call for an agency. You should find a company with English speaking office workers who will understand the tongue well enough for you to tell them about the accommodation you require. First of all you have to find in yellow pages the part “immobiliers” (French notion for real estate) and then phone in the agencies that you will see. After you have phoned to an agency you have to say 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') that implies “Good day, do you speak English”. And if the answer is affirmative, you can tell them what you need. Bear in mind that there can be two terms to make a payment for Paris short term accommodation: half of a month's and full month term.
The next “do-it-yourself” variant can be the similar easy as the preceding one. Only here you will be saving quite a great amount of funds. Only in this situation you will have to talk to landlords that make you a problem. Here, you need a help of someone who is local resident here, it may be either one of your friends or a man that you have met on the internet, for example. If you do not have such a person you will have to find an English speaking lessor that will certainly decrease the number of the accommodation that you will call on, but do not be afraid you will find such people. And remember that a great amount of Paris lessors prefer to give their rooms to persons who are native English speakers.
You may begin your search from the place that is named the “American church of Paris”. This is the place where you will meet a great number of English speaking persons and other English resources. Start by selecting the magazine 'FUSAC', you will find it just near the main gate. (It is the greatest English speaking source for Englishmen and Americans in France). One more mode for persons who require to get cheap apartments Paris is a internet search.
