    Hi,

    Sorry if this has already been posted, but I have applied for a year abroad in Lyon, France for the next school year! However, am having real trouble finding somewhere to live, I was wondering has anyone here been to France on Erasmus and would know some good accomdation? Even any good websites would be of a great help.

    Thanks in advance
    C

    Hiya!

    As it happens I'm currently in Lyon atm (studying at Lyon2). what kind of accom are you looking for? (price/sharing/etc) ATM I'm looking for someone to take my place away from me but I can offer some really good advice and websites depending on the kind of place you're looking for! Depending on the university you're applying to they might have some places available to international students, that's what happened to me. Let me know what specs you're looking at and I can give you as much info as I can :)

    Hi again!
    OK if it's ok with ya i'll pm ya all the info either later tonight or tomorrow to make sure I've as much down as possible! Re my place it's pretty big and would ideally suit either a couple or one person (the landlady is amazing and will adjust rent if there is one person). Have you looked into guarantors or housing assistance? I can include info on that if you like?
    Talk soon! :)

    Hey

    I finally got my accommodation sorted, I'm staying here apparently its a good spot, the woman who organises the placing has been very helpful.
