Living in Paris without breaking the bank? It's possible!

A flagship destination for students seeking professional opportunities, Paris is today a metropolis that attracts a new, more mobile population. However, this population faces more budget constraints. Finding decent housing in Paris can quickly become a real challenge.

Is Parisian life therefore reserved for an elite? The answer is no. There are now alternatives to reduce the cost of accommodation in the capital. We break it all down for you.

Living in Paris, a life of light that comes at a cost !

Paris is the heart of France, due to its economic, cultural, and tourist appeal. It is today the most popular tourist destination in the world. A true modern living place, it offers a unique cultural richness. All the major shows, big exhibitions, and great museums are gathered there. The variety of bars, restaurants, and cafés also makes Paris one of the most cosmopolitan cities in France.

On the downside, Parisian life is very expensive, with exorbitant real estate prices. No matter what you choose—small apartments, student housing, or shared accommodation—finding housing in the capital can quickly become a financial drain. Demand is always increasing. For this reason, this price increase is not likely to stabilize anytime soon.

Paris, an aging population

Today, three out of five Parisians are retired. This senior population, often dependent and isolated, is increasingly willing to welcome (co)tenants. They want to share moments and receive help in their daily lives in exchange for a room.

The solution ? ToitChezMoi !

A new method for free housing has emerged: housing in exchange for services. The principle? Live at a host’s home for free, or almost free, in exchange for services from the supportive cohabitant such as assistance to seniors, babysitting, or gardening. Beyond simply finding affordable housing, this offer is also a way to meet new people. It allows for creating real social bonds and thus accompanying and keeping company to often isolated people.

A win-win solution, ToitChezMoi is the reference platform bringing together hundreds of housing offers in the capital. So, hesitate no more and live your Parisian dream!
