What’s it like to live in Paris?

By moving to Paris, you will discover all the joys of Parisian life . You can enjoy all the pleasures of the city while sitting quietly on a café terrace or immersing yourself in the madness of the cabaret world. Life in Paris is also about artistic and gastronomic discovery, architecture and history and inspiration. There are several mixed opinions and reviews on the Parisian lifestyle, so it might be challenging to find one consistent answer.. Just brace yourself for heavy prices seen in housing and living expenses—many might find this troublesome. However, some may argue that this is a sacrifice well worth it to live life as if you are in a romance movie or novel.

What are good areas for renting in Paris?

If you're wondering where to live in Paris, the city is divided into different arrondissements, each with its own character. You can choose between the hustle and bustle of the Champs-Élysées, the trendy Marais district, the beauty of the Seine or the artistic life of Montmartre . If you are looking for a student room, the best place to stay is in the Latin Quarter or the Bastille. These two lively areas are frequented by many young people and are home to some of the city's most prestigious universities, such as the Sorbonne. Even though rent is quite expensive, you can find more affordable grocery options, restaurants, bars, etc. If you prefer peace and quiet, opt for a rental flat in the 13th or 15th arrondissement of Paris . It is also in these more outlying and mostly residential areas that you can find cheap accommodation. If you would like to shy away from high price tags, and don’t mind a bit of a more alternative neighbourhood.. The eastern parts of the 10th arrondissement are pretty hipster, trendy and can be affordable in comparison. It is very attractive to people usually in their 20s or 30s.

You might find some people during the process speaking English but most of the time communication will be in French and so will the contract.
