What options for finding accommodation outside of university?
Several solutions allow students to find accommodation outside of university residences.

The Lokaviz solution is an interesting service for international students who want to discover Paris in ideal conditions, especially when its their first stay in the French capital.
Indeed, the accommodation available through Lokaviz offers solid guarantees in terms of legal criteria – surfaces, security, decency etc. – and energy performance of the buildings. Rents are in accordance with market prices, Lokaviz insisting on the respect of good practices between tenants and landlords. Apartments you will find with Lokaviz also offer good location, being most often located not far from universities or places frequented by Parisian students.
Shared accommodation has always been a popular choice among students: a cheap solution, it also allows students to live in a friendly environment. For international students, shared accommodation is not only a guarantee of social ties, but can also promote the learning of French if one or more tenants are francophones!
The Lively Neighborhoods of Paris
As an international student, your stay in Paris will be much more enjoyable if you choose to settle in the heart of a lively, student-friendly neighborhood. Beyond learning French, a good location will allow you to more easily discover the culture and lifestyle of the country thanks to the many encounters that await you!
The Latin Quarter
Between the 5th and 6th arrondissements, the Latin Quarter is known for housing several schools and institutions such as the Beaux-Arts, the Sorbonne, and the CCFS, which is why it is historically a student district. But its attractiveness to students is also due to the presence of many cinemas, shops, restaurants, and lively bars. Rue Mouffetard, Rue des Canettes, and Rue de la Harpe are particularly appreciated by young people for their atmosphere both day and night. Note, however, that due to its location in the heart of Paris, the Latin Quarter is relatively expensive in terms of rent.
Oberkampf
In the 11th arrondissement, Oberkampf is another ideal neighborhood for international students who want to live in an area conducive to meeting people and relaxing. Particularly dynamic, Oberkampf is especially appealing to music lovers who will appreciate places like L’Alimentation Générale, Le Chat Noir, and Le Nouveau Casino, which regularly host concerts. Rue Oberkampf will not fail to surprise international students who choose to settle there, both for its entertainment and its various picturesque places typical of “old Paris.”
Le Marais
A trendy neighborhood par excellence, Le Marais is located in the 4th arrondissement of the capital and remains famous for its many bars and restaurants. Unsurprisingly, it is a place particularly frequented by students and young people in general. In the heart of Paris, Le Marais offers a unique quality of life thanks to its shops, boutiques, gardens, and cultural sites. International students will also appreciate the historic streets that make up the charm of Paris. However, like the Latin Quarter, rents in Le Marais are particularly high.
SoPi (South of Pigalle)
SoPi is the trendy term for the south of Pigalle (South of Pigalle, SoPi), which is now one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the capital. Known for its many music stores, Pigalle is also distinguished by the presence of many cocktail bars, festive spaces, and famous clubs such as Paladium. Conducive to student life, SoPi is also an area to consider if you want to live in a lively Parisian neighborhood, not far from Montmartre!
