Finding accommodation in France can be very difficult, especially in Paris, and in particular for a foreigner who has just arrived.
Even if the market has improved slightly over the past few years, the hunt for the perfect apartment can be long, with no shortage of scams. Babylangues feels it is important for you to feel safe and at home during your stay. That is why we suggest some alternative solutions beyond just regular renting to avoid these problems! And, of course, we will give you some advice about avoiding scams too.
The Babylangues accommodation guide should provide you with everything you need to know about finding a place to live in France , especially in Paris where the search can sometimes be very tedious. We know the process of finding accommodation is long and hard, but it will be worth it! The prices we refer to are the approximate prices of such options in Paris — most things are cheaper in the majority of other French cities!
Furthermore, some landlords will not accept an English or foreign guarantor — note that, technically, it is illegal for them to reject your application if you have a viable guarantor who simply happens to come from abroad, but since the competition is so immense, they will often just pick another tenant.
It is likely that landlords will receive over messages per studio and arrange visits for around 30 people, so the competition will be extremely high.
