Shared Accommodation

Living with flat mates, a landlord or in intergenerational housing…may be a good experience of shared accommodation. The option are varied.

Shared with Flat mates ("colocation" in french) : The rent is divided between the residents. This is particularly interesting for those arriving in a city without knowing anyone because it is an easy way to make new friends. But be sure that you want to share your accommodation ! You will have different rules of life to respect and to agree before : distribution of tasks, grocery shopping, cleanning...To set up a "colocation" some students already have a flat and put up ad's looking for people, while other students look for people and place to live at the same time. It is up to you !

Shared with landlord ("chez l'habitant" ou "chambre privée" in french) : You live in the house with the owner, renting only a bedroom. You share the kitchen and the bathroom. This solution is less expensive than living by yourself but it can be more complicated to invite friends over.

Intergenerational Housing : You live with elderly people and in exchange, a minimum time of presence is imposed and you carry out differents tasks such as : grocery shopping, assisting with cooking, having a conversation... More information with Nantes Renoue and Le temps pour Toit.
