First things first, the query you are to ask yourself at the very beginning, is which type of apartment rental in Paris you are searching for, a furnished or a non-furnished one. You are to think carefully about these things. If you came to France for several months it will be better to have a furnished accommodation, it will relieve your headache about purchasing diverse things and you may freely install yourself in a new place. But from the other side it will be much more economical to rent an unfurnished accommodation if you would stay here for several years. It is easy to go to a secondhand market and find some furniture on your taste that will be suitable for you and your wallet.

2 ways of home renting exist in Paris. They are the “do-it-yourself” way and the “agency” way, but selecting the second one you will be to pay some extra money for rent to the agency services. There is no other method to rent Paris apartment.

Of course, the company way is much easier. The only point you have to do is to identify the English speaking agency that will have employees with that minimum English to get what type of apartment you need. First of all you have to find in yellow pages the section “immobiliers” (French notion for real estate) and then phone in the agencies that you will observe there. The very first words of yours should be 'Bonjour, parlez vous anglais?' ('Bojho, parley voo angley'), it implies “Good day, do you speak English”. If there will be an answer “Yes”, you are welcome to speak on the point. You have to remember that the payment for Paris short term apartments may be from 1 month term to a full month.

The next “do-it-yourself” variant can be the same easy as the preceding one. But if to parallel with the preceding way you will preserve much more money with the help of this way. The difficulty what you might have here is to converse with the lessor. Here, you require an assistance of someone who is local here, it may be either one of your acquaintances or a person that you have met on the internet, for example. If you don't have such a man you will have to find an English speaking lessor that will surely decrease the number of the apartments that you will visit, but don't be afraid you will find such persons. And remember that a large amount of Paris lessors prefer to give their accommodations to persons who are native English speakers.

Your search can begin with the American church of Paris, a wonderful area to find other English speaking persons and for other English resources. Start by picking up the journal 'FUSAC', you will see it just near the main gateway. (It is the greatest English speaking source that you may find in Paris). And the most suitable method to receive cheap apartments Paris is to go on the web.
