Thanks everyone.
I'm looking at some ads on Craigslist. Eg: https://paris.craigslist.fr/apa/d/bel-1-...02543.html - seems reasonable. Is this a good area for daygame logistics?
OP, I just seen this thread so hopefully it is not too late.
THIS AD IS A FRAUD !!!
Avoid Craigslist at any cost in Paris, it is not popular here and most people don’t even know it.
In Paris, One of the most popular websites to find a flat is
http://Www.pap.fr
There is also the paper version that you can buy every thursday morning. People usually buy the paper version as you can get it at 6 am in the shops while the online version often doesnt show the new ads until 10Am, when you call at 10am many of the nice flats are already rented out.
It might be difficult as most landlords wont speak english, I recommend you to stick to airbnb and negotiate a monthly price with the landlord.
Another option is to share a flat, that will be cheaper, you can check the website
http://Www.colocation.fr
If you decide to share I recommend to look for international students, french on average are individualistic and not so welcoming so not sure you would enjoy the experience of living among them ?
If you want a place on your own then you can also check websites like
http://Www.leboncoin.fr
The 13th is a decent neighborhood, you could actually stay there. There is a university at rue de Tolbiac with plenty of girls (I studied my first uni year there many years ago...), a shopping center at metro Place d’Italie called « Italie 2 » and there is a very cool neighborhood about 600 m from the mall, it is called « la butte aux cailles » and has plenty of cool bars and restaurants, the crowd is young and you can open girls there the evening.
For day game one of the famous spots has been mentioned above, it is « cité universitaire », take the suburb train called RER and exit at station cité universitaire, it is a big campus full of international students, in summer time people sit in the park there, it is a very nice place.
Another famous spot is the famous shopping street « rue de Rivoli », on saturday afternoon it is full of talent, all races, from the pure bread french to the 3rd generation algerian or Carribean, low to middle class as you find all the mainstream and affordable brands such as H&M, Zara and so on...
Another good spot is to walk around the Sorbonne university (I also studied there?), it is located in the heart of the latin district which is very nice. For day game go around that uni and go to « jardin du Luxembourg », that’s another famous spot for daygamers, plenty of beautiful girls, often on their own and plenty of tourists...
Still in the latin district but for night game, go To rue Mouffetard, plenty of bars and the crowd is mainly students.
I am surprised that in nearly a month no parisian gave you solid info.
BTW I see a member commenting on algerians, there are many algerians, moroccan and tunisians as well as black africans, who are university educated and are good lads, you won’t notice them of course as they arent the ones harrassing girls in the streets.
If you have any question just ask or PM me.
Enjoy Paris!
