Newcomer Support

Housing, paperwork, and language can feel overwhelming at first. These can help:

  • Housing

    Finding an apartment in Paris is competitive, so most people use several of these at once. Here are the apps our community relies on, grouped by what they do best.

  • Visa help

    Visas and residence permits can feel overwhelming. Start with the official sites, then lean on free, trusted organizations if you need a hand.

  • Affordable French lessons

    Learning French is the biggest step toward feeling at home in Paris. Here are free and low-cost classes through the city, plus flexible options for every budget.

  • Making Paris home

    Missing TJ Maxx and Marshalls? We’ve found the equivalents just for you. From cleaning supplies to cozy home décor, here’s where our community shops to make Paris feel like home.
