There are two types of rent apartment Paris: furnished and non-furnished one. And now you are to think over which sort of it you need for sure. You are to think carefully about these things. If you have come to France for a few weeks it will be better to get a furnished apartments, it will relieve your headache about buying different things and you may freely install yourself in a new city. But if to look at it from the other hand, for instance you have to stay here for a few years, it will be much more economical to rent unfurnished apartments. You may go to a market of used things and furnish your accommodation with furniture you like most.

So, you have got only 2 methods to find an apartments in Paris, they are: the “do-it-yourself” method and the “agency” method. But remember that selecting the second way you should pay an extra month rent for the company facilities. You will have to select 1 of these means to receive Paris apartment.

The agency method is easier, you just need to find some English speaking companies, and you have lots of service suppliers who talk that minimum English to communicate with you, at least enough to rent you a room. First of all you are to find in yellow pages the section “immobiliers” (French notion for real estate) and then call in the companies that you will see. You can start with the sentence 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') question which means 'Good day, do you speak English' and if the answer is affirmative, begin talking business. Do not forget, the commission for Paris short term accommodation can be something between half of a month's rent to that of a full month.

The “do-it-yourself” method can be also so easy one as the method with the assistance of a company. But if to parallel with the preceding way you will preserve much more money with the help of this method. The main difficulty here is in the case that you should speak with lessors. For this, you may receive assistance of a local person somebody whom you knew before or somebody you have met in a forum, for instance. If you cannot, then of course you are restricting the amount of accommodation that you may call on
