🇫🇷 Written from first-hand experience in France ▼
This worksheet is based on my own experience of growing up and living in France until the age of 35. It was designed to give learners practical information they are likely to encounter when discussing or dealing with accommodation in France — not just words from a textbook.

How to search through private landlords or real estate agencies, and what to expect from each approach.
What a lease, deposit and move-in inventory involve — and why each one matters in practice.
The difference between rent, service charges, electricity and gas — a common source of confusion for new tenants.
An introduction to housing benefit and social housing in France — two concepts that come up often in everyday conversation.
🎯 Learning goals ▼

Learn the words that come up when discussing renting, moving or everyday life in France.
