Finding a home in France should be one of your initial priorities and maybe the best option if you will just be temporarily staying in the country for an internship, a conference, or for leisure. You may choose a variety of property types from houses, bayside, domaine to apartments that may either be furnished or unfurnished. Houses in France that are rented out unfurnished would usually have a minimum contract of three years, so your best choice is to go for something furnished. This choice will also take out the hassle of having to decorate and furnish your temporary home.

Once you’ve found a potential home for rent online, it is essential that you visit it if you have already landed in France, if not, you may get someone to view it for you. You may also hire a local agent who can do the leg work for your rental with a minimum fee. If you liked the deal you found then the next step is to sign a rent contract with your landlord.  Rental listings online can either be through a direct owner or an agent, if you happen to find one under an agent then you don’t have to sweat the paperwork because they will do it for you. On the other hand, if you will be transacting with the owner then there are no more extra fees and you may just be required a few documents like your passport, proof of income or capacity to pay, and 6 months bank statements. Oftentimes a landlord also requests for a copy of your visa if you are an expat.
