Natives of the United States may have an impression that staying abroad in Europe is just too expensive to afford. After all, taxes, food, rent, they are all many times more costly than their counterparts in the States are, or so one would think. The truth is: there are plenty of cheap Paris apartments, and if the capital of France has that to offer, anyone can be brave enough to do the research and take a trip.
The caveat to traveling abroad, especially in France, is that anyone planning on making the trip should master two disciplines. First, the person should have a full command, not a working knowledge, but a completely fluent grasp of the French language. While it may be easy to live in the US and not speak English, such is not the case in Paris. With a fluency in French, a traveler should subject himself or herself to acclimatization before heading away.
It may sound silly, but choosing not to get soda refills when eating out, skipping ice in drinks and practicing patience at meals will all be foundational for a smooth transition. Many people discover that finding cheap Paris apartments is the least of their concern when moving abroad. Inexpensive board is easy to track down, adopting a new lifestyle is challenging.
Apartments are the better choice for visitors with family or on semi-long-term vacations or business trips. Unlike a hotel, where the occupant pays an included nightly fair for room service and employee personnel, apartments are more private and do not include charges for these services. Renters can find apartments for as low as eighteen Euros, a person, a night, with full accommodations including a shower, refrigerator, sink and stove.
Similarly, apartments in the city are easy to locate near prominent features such as Notre Dame, the Bastille, the Louvre and the Pantheon. Many of these dwellings are close enough to have scenic window views of the most famous architecture in France. The tourist, locating the right habitation for his or her trip should consider his or her schedule in defining where to stay.
Tips and comments:
With exception to the Champs Elysees region, apartments near any of the great architectural structures in Paris can be obtained inexpensively. The average dwelling costs about forty Euros a night, per person, and many can be found for less than that. Much is determined by the amenities the renter wishes to obtain, and his or her flexibility in exact location.
