Heya kiddos



Just got confirmation today that I'll be getting new job in Paris and will be moving there asap (in a couple weeks) from Brussels.



Ive been to Paris many times, but never to live. Many of my friends give nightmare stories of finding an apartment for example. And documents.



Any practical advice? I'll be working in the 15ieme with a satellite company More on that some other day.



Once I get settled, maybe some visitors will come?

    excellent...



    paris... 17eme is all i'm really familiar with from a non-tourist perspective...



    i don't know if that will be any help or not. i'll ask my mom, she was involved in real estate over there for several years

    Do you work for Matra ?



    Concerning appartements : well it's true that it's difficult to find locations. You should ask to "agences immobilieres" but i think that you should simply ask to your new companie : she must be aware of this kind of problem and will be able to help you. Many companies have a kind of priority for locations with some "agences immobilieres".



    So my advice is simple ask your companie : they must be aware of this kind of problems.

    be sure to take a bath towel and couple sticks of chewing gum.
