>>What sort of accomodation are you looking for? I'm looking for a one bedroom appartment, where the bedroom is seperate from kitchen / living area (i.e. not a studio). I've seen several places on www.pap.fr (bypass agencies). I will visit the 18th this weekend and will have some visits to appartments. I'd prefer to visit accomodation in "safer" areas as I've heard the 18th can be a mix. Visiting the district is certainly going to help, but getting opinions from others helps considerably.
