First things first, the question you are to ask yourself at the very beginning, is what sort of apartments to rent Paris you are searching for, a furnished or a non-furnished one. If you are remaining here for a few months in Paris, you may decide going for a furnished flat, as in this way you don't need to buy anything, no headache, and you just require to settle yourself there. Nevertheless, if the endurance is long, even a couple of years, unfurnished apartment may be much more economic, as you may furnish your apartment depending on your funds, easily from a market of used things, and can sell them off while leaving Paris to someone else.
So, you have only two methods to look for an apartments in Paris, they are: the “do-it-yourself” method and the “agency” method. But bear in mind that selecting the second method you should pay an extra month rent for the company facilities. There are no other offers for Paris apartment.
The easiest way is to call for an agency. You should find an agency with English speaking office workers who will understand the language well enough for you to tell them about the accommodation you need. Do some search in the internet, get the yellow pages, and find the section 'immobiliers' (French translation for real estate) and begin phoning them. You can start with the phrase 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') query that stands for 'Good day, do you speak English' and if the reply is positive, begin talking business. Bear in mind that there may be 2 terms to pay for Paris short term accommodation: half of a month's and full month term.
For the 'do-it-yourself' method, believe me, it may also be as easy as another one. Only here you will be preserving quite a great amount of money. Only in this situation you will have to talk to landlords that bring you a difficulty. Here, you require a help of somebody who is local here, it can be either one of your friends or a person that you have met on the web, for instance. If you do not have such a person you will have to look for an English speaking landlord that will surely decrease the number of the accommodation that you will call on, but don't be afraid you will find such people. And remember that a large amount 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 will see persons who speak English and a great amount of other English information. Take a journal “FUSAC” that may be seen near the main gate of the church. (Till nowadays the greatest printed source for Englishmen who need information in France). One more way for people who would like to get cheap apartments Paris is a internet search.
