Student moving to bordeaux

try pap.fr, rentals without going through an agency, which saves you $$$

Thanks for the suggestion Dabro3d

Hi and welcome to Expat.com!
Did you have a look at our Bordeaux Classifieds -> Accomodation section?

Hello, just recently moved to Bordeaux too. Check out the campus de bissy website. Nothing but studio self-contained flats though. It is in merignac and about 20 minutes from center of Bordeaux. Good luck.

Hi,

I too am coming to Bordeaux Uni in a month's time and wondered if you had, as yet, found anywhere to live? Please get in touch as it would be nice to talk to you.

If you are not settled already: pap.fr is good as suggested, other websites are
1. appartager.com- looking for a roommate or a house share. pay for the premium membership so you are able to get the phone numbers of the contacts and text or call right away. This is also beneficial if you are a sending a message on their webpage to someone, they are only able to read if they have a premium membership or have been sent a msg by someone with a premium membership.
2. seloger.com- deals more with agencies and can cost a bit more but normally has good listings
3. loboncoin.com- the most helpful to me-offers rentals through agencies or you can limit the search to properties available from individuals only by clicking the "Particulier" tab. If you mention looking for a coloc (roommate) or house share the link sends you to appartager.com
4. the CIJA office also has a bulletin board with advertisements and apartments available.

Student areas are near Place de la Victoire- just be careful at night between Victoire and the Train Station (Gare St Jean) as it can be a bit sketchy for a young student. Other good areas are Gambetta, Jardin Public, Tourny, and anyplace in the pedestrian area around Rue St. Catherine.
Good Luck!!
