Paris: effervescent, historic
and capital

Housing, first item of expense for Parisian students

With a saturated housing offer, many of you are looking for the rare pearl in Paris and above all, you are all looking for it at the same time, just before the start of the school year.

This cute studio, not too expensive, close to the university, with a view, close to everything and not too expensive, you are already dreaming of it.

But in your heart of hearts, you know that Parisian real estate is expensive! The prospect of living in 9m² with a toilet on the landing, on the 8^th floor without a lift, is already worrying you... 3 hours of RER train per day is giving you downright nightmares!

Read on, we tell you everything to succeed in your search for the Grail, the student apartment of your dreams does indeed exist in Paris…

Classic rental or student residence?

It all depends on your desires, your habits and your personal finances.

The classic rental by agency or directly with the owner will ask you to organize a move, unless you rent an already furnished apartment. Landlords are selective about the profiles of their tenants, your rental file must be concrete to win!

Student residences are strategically well located to make life easier for students. They offer a whole host of handy services.

Les estudines, the right accommodation solution for the start of the school year

At les estudines, you can choose from more than 30 student residences in Paris and Île-de-France.

Here are our favorite neighborhoods in Paris Intra-Muros:

• The Paris Batignolles residence in the 17^th arrondissement: close to Parc Clichy-Batignolles - Martin Luther King ("zero carbon emission" objective), its skatepark and the Square des Batignolles, nature in right in the heart of Paris!
• The Paris Davout and Clos Saint-Germain residences in the 20^th arrondissement: not far from Pere Lachaise Cemetery, in this typical district full of hidden treasures, with many schools within walking distance in a radius of 2 km.
• The 11^th arrondissement with the pretty Paris République residence, in the “coolest district of Paris”!
• The Paris Descartes residence in the 19^th arrondissement, not far from the 'Parc de la Villette', super trendy!

Les estudines student residences offer furnished and equipped studios, from T1 to T3 (depending on the residences). Moving in is economical since each apartment has the essentials for cooking and entertaining (electric hotplates, cutlery, plates, pots, pans, etc.). The bed, the desk, the chairs, the fridge... Everything is already there. It's always that less to buy!

Also available to you free of charge or à la carte, you can take advantage of a whole range of para-hotel services designed for you, students and interns: laundry , breakfast, free Wifi or parking, and many others (depending on the residences)…
