Hello everyone

We are planning to move in Lyon. Would love to know if how much is the cost to live in 2 bedroom flat outside the city.

Is it easy to find a flat to rent for English speaking like me?

Thank you very much for your help

Hi,
I actually found it quite difficult to find an apartment in Lyon, even though I had all the paperwork ready.
It is a competitive market in Lyon and it will be easier to find something outside of the city centre. I am paying for a 2 bedroom flat in the centre 830 euros a month without utility bills.
I'm sure you will be able to communicate with the apartment owner even if you cannot speak French!
Good luck & let us know how you get on!
