Are you moving to Paris?

Replying to @garannm

Cool! I don't know of relocation services, but if you don't mind doing it yourself seloger.com is the classic.

Replying to @garannm

Things are cheapest in the north-east or close-by suburbs (that still get the métro). The paperwork is painful though.
