Accommodation in Paris may be very expensive so you may want to look at the housing options in the nearby towns. It would also be a good idea to look for a furnished one. You may choose from the foyers, the student residence halls, and apartment hotels, or you can search in the online newspapers or contact a real-estate agent. The student residence is the most popular accomedation, the apartment hotels are the most expensive, and the foyers are the most reasonable.
