Impossible to pay a rent in Paris!!!

That's the way we do it here...
We share flats, or move in with a boyfriend/girlfriend so it's cheaper.
Also it's really extreme and stupid to say so peremptory that ALL suburbs are "really dangerous for people"...WTF?!...
But i wouldn't like to live in the suburbs because i like my cultural events and night life and i like it to be easy enough to go back home after nights out and not to bother about having to get back home all the time, or sleeping at friend's every night like a free loader.
So if you're interested, get in with us we're building a flatshare in the 11th/18th or 19th district. We're Japanese/French/Irish and young professionals and cool :)
Either way, best of luck and start being a bit optimistic lady, you'll find a place.

Check pap.fr / appartager, colocation.fr etc...

Or if you really want your own place that bad well do the flatshare thingy temporarily, (that way you'll get rent bills paid in Paris, always good for an application file) and if your job is that good and pays well, after a few months try to move in on your own with a proper file and all the documents necessary through an agency?...or directly with an owner (your best bet).

Oh and also Paris is really small as a city with a big density of people per square meters. Most flats within Paris are in old buildings. So that's the way we live : in small flats. But you'll notice that the majority of them are quite charming, well-equipped and comfortable to live in. Don't focus so much on the size, look at the overall look/feeling and equipment and the area they're located.

i' have a flat in Paris in 19eme arrondissement near to Buttes chaumont et la Vilette musique; Yes it's expansive but it's good too, it's my appartment.

Suburbs can be dangerous , it depends where, don't go in 93 like Sevran, Villepinte, alnay Sous Bois or 95 like Sarcelle, there are quiet suburbs and dangerous suburbs, i think everywhere is like that!

I can give you some advice if you like but tell me where is your job?
