The Trinity Consort

First things first, the query you are to request yourself at the very beginning, is which sort of rent apartment Paris you are searching for, a furnished or an unfurnished one. Look at the problem from several aspects. If you would like to remain here for several months it is better for you to rent a furnished accommodation, because it will ease your headache about buying different objects in your new home and you will be free to install yourself in a new place of dwelling. But from the other side it will be much cheaper to rent an unfurnished accommodation if you would remain there for several years. It is easy to go to a market of secondhand things and look for some furniture on your taste that will be appropriate for you and your pocket.

Two ways of home renting subsist in Paris. They are the “do-it-yourself” way and the “agency” way, but choosing the second one you will have to pay some additional funds for rent to the agency services. You are to pick out one of these ways to get apartments Paris.

The simplest method is to turn to a company. You will have to find an agency with English speaking employees who will understand the tongue well enough for you to speak about the accommodation you need. Do some search in the net, take the yellow pages, and look for the section 'immobiliers' (French notion for real estate) and start phoning them. After you've phoned to an agency you have to tell them 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') that means “Good day, do you speak English”. And if the answer is positive, you may tell them what you need. Remember, the payment for Paris short term apartments may be something between half of a month's rent to that of a full month.

The next “do-it-yourself” way may be the similar easy as the previous one. Only here you will be saving quite a lot of money. The main difficulty here is in the situation that you will have to converse with landlords. For this, you may take assistance of a local resident someone whom you knew before or someone you have got acquainted in a forum, for example. In the situation when you don't have such possibility, the number of the apartments for you to call on will definitely diminish. But don't despair you will have a great amount of possibilities to find an English speaking lessor. And the main benefit that you will have is that Paris landlords are eager to give the apartments for native English speakers.

Your search can start from the American church of Paris, a great area to find other English speaking persons and for other English resources. Take a magazine “FUSAC” that may be found near the main gateway of the church. (It is the best English speaking resource for Englishmen and Americans in France). And the best mode to get short term rentals Paris is to look at the internet.
