You should go live in surburb just like many of black or whatever middle class live . Downtown Paris is expensive and tiny . There’s a lot of space outside , depending on the city it’s can be warm as well. I live 15 min by train to bibliothèque François Mitterand ( downtown Paris ) very not expensive . Maybe because I am born and raised there , I don’t think there is a need to live in downtown . It’s easier to be also an owner . I am in process of buying my own place , 20 min by train to downtown Paris and I am working there. For people who want to relocate here in Paris, please don’t focus on downtown but safe cities close to downtown Paris , you will got a lot of space.

I live in Paris but I never had to go through the process which I am grateful for because it's hard! Infromative video :) Looking forward to your appartment tour!

I live in Annecy, France and it was very difficult finding a appartment! Great video

I subscribed just so I can vicariously visit Paris through you ladies. One day when I retire I will come there with my daughter. Thanks for the videos.

Hey girls, thanks for sharing your experiences! It does take patience and positivity AND definitely active search to find the right place.

This is very helpful when I move there in September!

I’ve watch all you guys videos and I love them! Maya girl I’ve notice a slight accent after watching each video it’s very subtle. I would love to give loving in Paris a try, I’m from Brooklyn NY and I’m looking for a change and I’m also a public health major and was considering studying abroad for my masters so you’ve given me some ideas about life in Paris your experience as a new student to being employed there etc!

Love your videos. Any suggestions for someone visiting paris for the 1st time, but a short stay?

[@AlmostParisienne]

Check out www.lavielocale.com, there are tons of tips for visiting Paris

[@carlacostamagna]

Merci for the advice! How viable would you think it would be to find a 2 bedroom apartment in the 11th for about 1900Euro or $2000? My family and I want to move to Paris in 2019. Husband would be workin for his same American company from home and I hope to continue my business in Paris or start a new one. Italian citizenship. Thank you!!

[@AlmostParisienne]

Carla Costamagna Hey Carla! Sounds like you are planning a fun new adventure. The 11th is a great place to live and with your budget, will you have some interesting options. Good luck!

[@carlacostamagna]

Thank you! I've been looking on SeLoger but I can't seem to find much within my budget, is there another website you recommend? Looking forward to your next vide and hopefully I'd love to meet you ladies in person in August when we're there for vacation

[@misstmonique]

Trippy process! Is this expat specific?

[@DreLuxTV]

Love your videos ladies. Question for you? Is it the same as the states for money down? 1 months Rent 2 months security? Or 2 months rent, 1 Month security? Are there any tips if you are a remote working for an American company?

[@AlmostParisienne]

DreLux TV Thank you! It’s actually different from case to case on how much money/deposit they will ask you for. But often it’s one months rent and the same amount as security.

Are fees required with the application?

[@babatundeswana9361]

Do you like the British accent?

[@babatundeswana9361]

Do you think you ever become fluent in French?

[@AlmostParisienne]

Babatunde Swana We do speak French at a good level today but there is always room for improvements!
