Hi everyone, I'm considering living in Paris possibly for 6 months. I'm putting this in the France forum and not in the Paris forum. I'm hoping there might be some posters who live in Paris, and those who have lived there previously, that will respond to this post. I would like to know what the cost of living in Paris is, so that I can get my finances together. I would like to know what my monthly expenses in Euros would be for the following:
Accommodation prices (how much does it cost to rent a room or apartment)
Public transportation fares (tube, bus etc ... for a weekly or monthly pass)
Food prices (per month, how much does it cost)
Health prices (for those who need medical insurance. Would I need insurance on top of my travel insurance?)
Energy prices (oil, electricity. Is it likely I can find a rental that includes utilities as well as phone and internet?)
Common bills (Internet, television, telephone, mobile phone. I will have an international cell phone, price of phone cards?)
Monthly entertainment (restaurant, events, going out, museums)
Prices of a beer or a coffee in a regular pub
Any other costs that I might not have covered would be great!
Thanks so much
