Apartment in Dijon

Hi,

I will move to Dijon in December. So far, no apartment settled down yet. Can some one here introduce the situation there? Such as, how much is the average price for renting a studio, one-bedroom apartment? How to install internet, telephone? how much is the cell phone rate there?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Carolyn,

If you can read French, write %26quot;location dijon%26quot; into google and you%26#39;ll see many websites (agencies or not) that will give you a good idea about those rentals.

average rate seems to be 300-450euros/month.

As for telephone and internet, maybe you should ask FT (France télécom) for a line and then ask a provider for a free access so you can leave whenever you want (FT will make you pay the line for a whole year) It is quite difficult to explain so as soon as you move into your flat go to a FT agency and ask them what the best solution would be for you (if you intend to stay for a year or more)

cell phone rates are high in France, if you just want to use it to call home I would suggest to have a look at telerabais.com. the rates are much cheaper, you just need a normal phone.

If you need help for a translation (for an agency for ex) you can email me.

have you considered flat sharing? it could be a very useful alternative. (colocation in french)

good luck !
