There are 2 kinds of apartment for rent Paris: furnished and unfurnished one. And now you are to think over what type of it you really need. If you are remaining here for several months in France, you may decide going for a furnished apartment, as in this way you do not have to buy anything, no headache, and you just need to install yourself here. But if to look at it from the other side, for example you are to stay there for a couple of years, it will be much more economical to rent unfurnished accommodation. You may go to a market of used things and furnish your flat with furniture you prefer most.
There exist 2 means to rent an accommodation in Paris, the 'do-it-yourself' way, and the 'agency' method for those persons who are rich enough to pay a month of rent additionally to the agency for their services. You must select 1 of these means to receive apartments Paris.
The easiest method is to turn to a company. You should find an agency with English speaking employees who will know the language well enough for you to speak about the accommodation you need. Do some search in the internet, take the yellow pages, and find the section 'immobiliers' (French translation for real estate) and begin phoning them. The first phrase of yours must be 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley'), it means “Good day, do you speak English”. If there will be an answer “Yes”, you are welcome to speak on the topic. Remember that there can be 2 terms to pay for Paris short term apartments: half of a month's and full month term.
The “do-it-yourself” way may be also so simple one as the method with the assistance of a company. But if to compare with the preceding method you will preserve much more funds with the help of this way. The difficulty what you can have here is to converse with the landlords. Here, you require a help of somebody who is local here, it may be either one of your friends or a person that you have met on the web, for example. If you do not have such a man you will have to find an English speaking landlord that will surely decrease the number of the accommodation that you will visit, but do not be afraid you will find such people. And bear in mind that a great number of Paris lessors prefer to give their accommodations to persons who are native English speakers.
Your search may start from the American church of Paris, a great place to find other English speaking persons and for other English resources. Start by picking up the magazine 'FUSAC', you may find it just near the main gate. (It is the greatest English speaking resource for Englishmen and Americans in Paris). And the greatest way to receive short term apartment Paris is to look at the web.
