There are two sorts of apartments to rent Paris: furnished and unfurnished one. And now you need to think over which kind of it you really need. Look at the problem from a few aspects. If you would like to stay there for a few months it is better for you to rent a furnished apartment, because it will ease your headache about buying different objects in your new home and you will be free to settle yourself in a new place of dwelling. Nevertheless, if the duration is long, even several years, unfurnished apartment can be much more economical, as you may furnish your flat relying on your funds, easily from a second hand market, and may sell them off while dwelling Paris to someone else.

There exist two means to get an accommodation in Paris, the 'do-it-yourself' method, and the 'agency' method for those persons who are rich enough to pay a month of rent additionally to the agency for their services. There are no other propositions for apartments rent Paris.

The agency way is easier, you just have to look for some English speaking companies, and you have lots of service providers who speak that minimum English to converse with you, at least enough to rent you a flat. First of all you are to find in yellow pages the part “immobiliers” (French translation for real estate) and then phone in the companies that you will see. You may begin with the sentence 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') question that stands for 'Good day, do you speak English' and if the answer is affirmative, begin talking business. Remember that there may be two terms to pay for Paris short term accommodation: half of a month's and full month term.

For the 'do-it-yourself' ones, believe me, it can also be as simple as the other one. But the diversity is that owing to this method you will save much more funds than in preceding situation. Only in this case you will have to speak with lessors that bring you a problem. For this, you can receive help of a local resident somebody whom you knew before or somebody you have got acquainted in a forum, for example. In the situation when you don't have such possibility, the quantity of the apartments for you to call on will surely lessen. But do not despair you will have a great amount of possibilities to find an English speaking lessor. And you are having this advantage with you that quite a lot of lessors (they take it or not) prefer giving accommodations to the 'native' English speakers.

Your search can begin with the American church of Paris, a wonderful place to find other English speaking persons and for other English resources. There is a “FUSAC” magazine that you can purchase not far from the main gate of the church. (It is the greatest English speaking resource for Englishmen and Americans in France). And the best way to receive vacation apartment rental Paris is to look at the internet.
