Paris: the City of Lights, where everything is possible

Living in Paris is an intense experience, as the city is constantly alive. In this city famous for its cultural offering, a multitude of destinations and attractions await. The beauty of the monuments and architecture gives the impression of walking through history and being part of Paris’ story. The city is also home to some of the most prestigious universities, including the Sorbonne, the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) and the école Polytechnique. Despite – or perhaps because of – all this, Paris has its drawbacks. The influx of students and the lack of suitable student accommodation has caused prices to rise, making the capital by far the most expensive city in France. This is why flatsharing has become so popular in the city. It enables students to find a larger apartment with a lower rent, while still enabling them to profit from all the city has to offer.
