Flat-hunting begins

And so, with le dossier completed and an agent on the case, this week we started looking around potential flats to rent. There were three up first. Two in the sixieme arrondisement, one in le deuxieme

We started in Cours Franklin Roosevelt.

It was really nice – no balcony or garage but still really nice. Six other people were interested and had submitted their dossiers already. We had til the next day to decide whether to thrown our hats into the ring. It was also just à côte d’un magasin ou j‘ai acheté une chemise et une paire de chaussures en Mars.

Next stop Quai Gailleton – a really busy road next to the Rhône.

It was quite messy

It was a big flat but on a very busy road and it was a bit of a mess. That one was a no.

We finished the next day with a two-bed flat just round the corner from our current home.

It was really nice

It had a balcony (two actually) a double garage and was very modern.

A nice kitchen

But it was just a bit too small. So in the end, we threw our dossier in with the other six contenders for the Cours Franklin Roosevelt flat. We find out on Monday. Fingers crossed.
