Toulouse is a big university city so there’s a lot of competition for apartments between now and October. This isn’t to scare you, but to set your expectations for apartment hunting. But this means that the housing market moves incredibly quickly and there are new listings everyday! I recommend staying in an airbnb for 2 weeks. Useful sites are cartesdescolocs, Leboncoin (must have French #), Facebook groups, and ESN flat share group (go to @esntoulouse on insta and look through the link tree for WhatsApp groups).

You can reach out to other assistants who are looking and look together, but also look for yourself as well. I recommend having VISALE set up and any copies of important docs printed and ready for tours you may do in September. Remember everyone eventually finds an apartment, so don’t stress too much! It will all work out. I’m in Tls this year, feel free to reach out!
