A room request is a listing in reverse: here the candidate does the presenting — monthly budget, arrival date, intended stay, target areas, lifestyle — and the hosts do the browsing, the filtering and the first message. Posting your profile spares you weeks of waiting for the perfect ad: owners and flatmates with a room opening up scan this page regularly and fill it without ever writing a listing. Publishing is free, takes a few minutes, can be done in French or in English, and works alongside your usual watch on the rooms for rent in flatshares. Before setting your budget, a look at our guide to rents by district will keep you from aiming too low — or paying more than the area you have in mind is worth.
