Paris is expensive. the most expensive arrondissement would be 16e so avoid that at all costs, i don't know much on cheaper parts, maybe 13e? but i only think that because that's Chinatown. also try the outer suburbs of Paris. if you want good value most places in southern france are very cheap, try Marseille, nice sea breeze.

 

[-Hey-]

I'm just keen to live anywhere in the place Thanks for the help

Paris is horrible.
While it has very good tourist attractions, it has a VERY high crime rate, LOW income, DISGUSTINGLY dirty and smelling metro, bad food and expensive clothing.

I was there for Christmas week. I absolutely loved the 1 week stay, can't imagine living there though. Was also in Switzerland, now that's somewhere I want to live (too bad they're so strict!).

Love the place I stayed at...small area just 20minutes from Paris City Center: Houilles.

Dirty + smell? I'm referring to actual city Paris.

are you going to rent? if so, i think the lowest renting price is 890 €/month in Montmartre for a single bedroom apartment.

I used to live in paris (admitedly with my parents so I didn't pay a thing) but it's not one of the most expensive cities in the world for nothing. Expect to pay at least 1000EUROS a week just for basic living expenses, food, rent, transport etc.

m8 im pretty sure not everyone in paris is earning 100,000 euro a year.

52000 euro, Riet.
