Rent in France

Common practice and prices

The French national market evaluates the Fontainebleau rentals from 17 to 21 euros per m².
French classic rental contracts (“bail” in french) are designed for a 3-year minimum tenancy period, yet any classic contract has the obligation to offer a 3-month notice for an early departure (vs 1-month notice for Short term furnished contracts).

I was living in South Africa and contacted City Junction (Robyn) when I got admitted to INSEAD in June 2007. I had never even travelled to France before, and I needed to choose a place without even having seen it. My main requirement was that it was in a nice location (near school) and that the room and bathroom were modern/tidy. I found a place and signed up just over email – and I have been very glad with the service which was very helpful and smooth. I had no hassle getting even arriving for the first time in a new country really late at night, and getting my apartment handed over to me – really grateful! My contact details are mohan.rajamohan@insead.edu if you have any questions or want to check anything with me”.

We want to thank you so much for your superb advice to take the place with Odile. It has been simply the best. Odile is wonderful, the garden is beautiful and the space is exactly what we were looking for.

City Junction has been a savior since day 1. They have been accessible, on time, helpful, and courteous at every juncture of my rental experience. Most people I know have had difficulties with landlords/agents, but I haven’t. . A special thanks goes to Robyn!
