Finding an Apartment in the north-west of Paris and other advice needed

[Wibs]

Hi,

I am looking for an apartment in the Gennevilliers, Argenteuil, Epanay suburbs of Paris, starting late December or early January 2014.

My budget is up to euro 1000 / month, and I would like an apartment with either two large bedrooms, or one large and 2 small (sleep in one, another for a small office, and one for guests).

Is there a property website that collates all the available apartments for rent, from all the estate agents, in the same way that rightmove.co.uk does in the UK?

If there isn't a rightmove equivalent, does anyone have any tips for finding an apartment?

Is a budget of euro 1000 reasonable for what I want?

Some other advice needed:

What is French broadband like in the Paris area? I am getting 120MBps with VirginMedia here in the UK, are similar speeds available in the Paris area?

Do French landlords generally ban or allow satellite dishes on the balcony?

I have a 2 year + 1 year option work contract. Is that likely to be an issue?

Thanks for any advice

Wibs

Be careful with 93 ...it can be very rough

There are also site like seloger.com  and http://www.pap.fr/

Your budget seems a bit tight to me, but I don't live there.
