First of all you need to decide one query, what apartments to rent Paris will be the most appropriate for you, furnished or unfurnished one. Look at the problem from a few points. If you would like to remain here for several months it is better for you to rent a furnished accommodation, because it will ease your headache about buying various objects in your new flat and you will be vacant to install yourself in a new place of dwelling. But from the other hand it will be much cheaper to get an unfurnished accommodation if you will stay here for a couple of years. It is easy to come to a market of secondhand things and find some furniture on your taste that will be appropriate for you and your pocket.

Two ways of home renting subsist in Paris. They are the “do-it-yourself” way and the “agency” method, but choosing the second one you will have to pay some extra money for rent to the company services. There are no other proposals for apartments Paris short term.

The agency method is simpler, you just have to find some English speaking companies, and you have plenty of service suppliers who speak that minimum English to converse with you, at least enough to find you a flat. First of all you are to find in yellow pages the section “immobiliers” (French translation for real property) and then call in the agencies that you will see. You can begin with the phrase 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley') question which stands for 'Good day, do you speak English' and if the answer is affirmative, begin talking business. Bear in mind that there may be 2 terms to pay for Paris short term accommodation: 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 help of a company. But the difference is that owing to this way you will save much more money than in preceding case. Only in this case you will have to talk to landlords that bring you a difficulty. For this, you may take help of a local person someone whom you knew before or somebody you have met in a forum, for example. If you do not have such a person you will have to find an English speaking lessor that will certainly limit the amount of the apartments that you will call on, but do not be afraid you will find such persons. And you are having got this advantage with you that quite a lot of lessors (they accept it or not) prefer giving accommodations to the 'native' English speakers.

The best place to start your search is American church of Paris where you will find persons who speak English and a great amount of other English information. Take a magazine “FUSAC” that can be found near the main gate of the church. (It is the best English speaking resource that you may find in France). And vacation apartment rental Paris may be also get with the help of internet pages.
