There are two kinds of apartment for rent Paris: furnished and non-furnished one. And now you have to think over which sort of it you really need. You are to think thoroughly about those things. If you came to France for several months it will be better to get a furnished apartments, it will ease your headache about buying diverse things and you can freely install yourself in a new place. But from the other hand it will be much cheaper to get a non-furnished accommodation if you will stay there for several years. It is simple to go to a market of secondhand things and find some furniture on your taste that will be appropriate for you and your pocket.

So, you have only two methods to find an apartments in Paris, they are: the “do-it-yourself” method and the “agency” method. But remember that choosing the second way you will have to pay an extra month rent for the agency services. There are no other proposals for apartments rent Paris.

Of course, the company way is much simpler. The only point you have to do is to find the English speaking company that will have office workers with that minimum English to understand what kind of apartment you need. Do some search in the internet, take the yellow pages, and look for the section 'immobiliers' (French notion for real property) and start calling them. You can begin with the phrase 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') question that means 'Good day, do you speak English' and if the answer is affirmative, begin talking business. Bear in mind that there can be 2 terms to make a payment for Paris short term accommodation: half of a month's and full month term.

For the 'do-it-yourself' method, believe me, it can also be as easy as the other one. But the difference is that owing to this way you will save much more funds than in preceding situation. Only in this situation you will have to speak with lessors that make you a difficulty. Here, you require an assistance of somebody who is local here, it may be either one of your acquaintances or a man that you have met on the internet, for instance. If you cannot, then of course you are restricting the amount of accommodation that you could call on ? but don't loose hope, you will still be having some ways to find some English speaking landlords. And the main benefit that you will have is that French landlords are willing to give the apartments for 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” magazine that you may buy near the main gate of the church. (It is the greatest English speaking source for Englishmen and Americans in France). And cheap apartments Paris may be also receive with the help of online pages.
