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. Your daily commute will be filled with exquisite architecture, art, and world pronounced landmarks that will certainly brighten up a gloomy day in Paris.

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.

How much money do you need to live comfortably in Paris?

Rentals in Paris are inevitably more expensive than most places in Europe. But it is possible to find that diamond in the rough and uncover affordable housing. As of now, the standard price for living in a one-bedroom flat in the centre of Paris is about 800-1,200 euros . Keep in mind that you also have living expenses. You can also get some benefits if you’re a student. University restaurants where you can find meals for as low as four euros are quite common, and it’s a great way to socialise and meet other students.

Is it hard to find a rental in Paris?

Paris is infamously known for its challenging and competitive real estate market. Prepare to be extremely quick with any flat-hunting strategies. It is more than likely that a flat will be taken by a tenant within the day they were listed. Despite that, if you do research and make the right steps then you should be successful! Thankfully you have platforms like Spotahome where you can easily find your perfect new apartment or shared room in Paris.

Is a deposit or bond required in Paris?

Most places will ask for a security deposit, which can comprise of one to two months of rent. It’s perhaps rare to find a rental without any sort of deposit. Just be sure to go through any contracts thoroughly. If you do not speak French, it would be ideal to find someone who can help you with this process.

Can foreigners rent in Paris?

Foreigners can certainly rent in Paris but in some cases there are requirements that make it a bit more difficult to accomplish. Landlords also have lots of tenants to choose from, and usually, the preferred candidate is.. You guessed it: French. Don’t let this discourage you, there are countless foreigners that live in Paris and go through the same process. You are not alone!

Expert tips for renting in Paris

First tip that should be aware of is that it is a fast-moving market. Apartments go by very quickly so be alert and if possible, relentlessly look out for new listings. Watch out for scammers! If you see an ad that seems too good to be true, it probably is. To all of the non French speakers: ask a French person or speaker for help. 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.
