First of all you need to decide one question, what apartment for rent Paris will be the most suitable for you, furnished or non-furnished one. Look at the question from several points. If you want to remain there for several months it is better for you to rent a furnished accommodation, because it will relieve your headache about buying different things in your new home and you will be free to install yourself in a new place of living. But from the other side it will be much more economical to rent a non-furnished accommodation if you would stay here for several years. It is simple to come to a secondhand market and find some furniture on your taste that will be appropriate for you and your pocket.

So, you have got only two ways to look for an apartments in France, they are: the “do-it-yourself” method and the “agency” way. But remember that selecting the second way you will have to pay an extra month rent for the agency facilities. There is no other mode to receive apartments rent Paris.

The simplest way is to turn to a company. You will have to find an agency with English speaking office workers who will understand the tongue well enough for you to tell them about the apartments you require. Search for yellow pages and there look for “immobiliers” that means from the French language real estate and call in those agencies. You may start with the phrase 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') question that means 'Good day, do you speak English' and if the reply is positive, start talking business. Remember, the payment for Paris short term accommodation may 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 way with the assistance of an agency. But the difference is that owing to this way you will save much more money than in preceding case. Only in this situation you will have to talk to landlords that bring you a problem. For this, you may receive assistance of a local person someone whom you knew before or someone you have met in a forum, for example. In the situation when you don't have such opportunity, the number of the apartments for you to call on will surely diminish. But don't despair you will have a great amount of opportunities to find an English speaking landlord. And bear in mind that a great number of French lessors prefer to give their rooms to people who are native English speakers.

You can start your search from the place that is named the “American church of Paris”. This is the area where you will meet a lot of English speaking people and other English resources. Start by selecting the magazine 'FUSAC', you will find it just near the main gate. (Till now the best printed source for Englishmen who need info in France). And the most suitable way to get cheap apartments Paris is to look at the web.
