At Livinfrance, we offer you a simple, fast and secure way to book your accommodation in France! Less than 10 minutes to find and book your perfect accommodation 🏠

Here are the steps: 

1. Select the room of your choice ✨

As soon as you like an offer, you just have to click on it to see its sheet with all the necessary information

It is important that you take the time to read the page of an ad, especially the description. The landlord can include important information.

Information on charges will also be present. Check which charges will be included and which will not be included in the cost of your rent.

Don't forget to check the "payment specifics" section which explains what the next costs you will have to pay if your reservation is accepted.

Finally, we strongly advise you to look at the "Frequently Asked Questions" section!

Your Livinfrance personal space will be useful for you to understand everything there is to do for your rental in France. Here are some tips to make your booking go smoothly:

  • Signature of your rental contract 
    There may be a deadline after which the contract is cancelled so don't waste time signing your contract!
  • Proceed to the payment of your first rent, the security deposit and fees if there are some.
    You will have your landlord's bank details to make this payment. Don't forget that without payment, you can't enter your home 😉
  • Organize your check-in
    We recommend that you schedule your inventory at least 2 weeks in advance. You will find the owner's availability hours on the accommodation sheet
  • Don't forget to take out your mandatory housing insurance ☂️ 
    Please note that some landlords may include this insurance, so check with your landlord first!
