If you are called to move here, Paris probably wants you 🥰🥰🥰

Deux mois pour trouver un appartement à Paris...bravo! C'est extrêmement difficile.

I'm feeling kinda bad in health ways right now, but this gives me some hope.

I moved to Paris from another country and as i understood the impossibility of renting in Paris, i took out bank statements from my bank showing i was paying rent regularly on time. I added it to my dossier to show i was a responsible tenant

Thank you for saying "Have hope" and "Bonne chance, bon courage." I gave me hope and it meant a lot to me. I'm an Englishman living in the UK. I have a connection to America, I lived for 9 years in southern California. You gave an excellent talk. I have been learning French for 8 years at a local College. My dream is to live and work as a writer and a film maker in Paris. You are an inspiration to me that you are an American girl successfully living in Paris! It can be done!

you’re giving me hope, ive been seeing the difficulties in settling into france and finding a home/apartment, 1-3 months seems like the usual wait time when hunting. im hoping for the best when i get there, thanks for the advice!!

Thanks for the video. I think Paris might be cheaper than Austin as well

I’m not searching for housing in Paris but this was a super interesting video! I’m always curious how housing market is in other places!

So glad I lived in Paris in the 1970’s to 90’s. Less tourists and I was privileged to have worked in the U S embassy undercover and it was different before the E U reg

Just to say that I experienced looking for a studio in Paris more than 20 years ago and it was a nightmare already. I found one after a month, and I lived in the same studio for 3 years there. When I had to leave, the landlord was so bumped because it's hard to find tenants that pay rent on time and don't make any problem to the neighbors, the landlord

Hey! Thanks a lot for the video. This was very informative.

Question: what do you think about living in areas in the suburbs and working in a place in the 9th arr.? Any advice whatsoever from commute to closeness to a market or shops would be great.
Example of the areas are Bezons, La Defense, Bondy and Gagny.
Once again, thank you for this video!
