Paris Attitude - Rent furnished apartments

France has multiple agreements with other countries. Most of the time it automatically grants you a short-term visa of 90 days if you are coming on holiday for a shot of the French “art-de-vivre”.

Thousands of foreign students come to Paris to study every year. Obviously the city itself has a lot to offer, a promise of great food, great time, great fashion and great culture but not just so. Higher education in France, even though it has been challenged by the USA, UK or even China, still has a solid academic reputation.

Immigration has been a sensitive subject for decades now. When chosen, it’s either made out of compassion for those struggling to survive or out of genuine opportunism for those with skills that might be an added –value for the country willing to welcome them.

Coming to France to study is a dream or a soon-to-be reality for many foreign students. The quality of its education, its “art-de vivre” and its rich yet accessible cultural resources make it a very desirable country to spend a year or two while learning new competences from French language to French cuisine but also business, law, science, etc.

Not so many people –and certainly not the candidates for expatriation- suspect the potential “tsunami” that is awaiting them after they spent a few months or a few years away from home in a foreign country, when it’s time to come back home.

The French healthcare system is known to be one of the best in the world. And if French people are prompt to criticize it (it’s a “national sport”!), they defend it all the same.

As the weather gets cooler and the leaves of the trees take on their flamboyant autumn colors, Paris slowly says goodbye to summer.

The capital, however, doesn't prepare to go into hibernation, quite the opposite. Autumn is the season of the new school year but also a season rich in cultural twists and turns.

So even if the days are getting shorter and the winter season promises a little less daylight, in theaters, art galleries, exhibitions halls, and restaurants a host of events are getting underway.

The baguette (French typical bread) might not be the only cool thing to enjoy in France!

Indeed French healthcare system is considered as one of the best healthcare coverages. French might complain about it but they are very much attached to it as they know how lucky they are compare to the rest of the world.

Buying a house used to be the ultimate goal for generations of people all around the world.

Investing in something that lasted, something you could pass on to your kids, a cozy nest to hold on to through good and bad days.

The youngest generation though -also called generation Y (Why) or Millennials (a fancy word to name men and women born between 1980 and 2000) - seem to have other ideals of life.

What are the reasons that are pushing people in their 20’s, 30’s and even 40’s to rent a place that they call home sweet home rather than buying it?
