How much personal space is typical in Paris, France?

How much does it cost to rent a room in Lyon, France?

• I am choosing a region in France to work as an English teaching assistant and enroll in a French university. Paris seems really expensive. How expensive is life in Lyon? I dont need a large space. I can share bathrooms, kitchens, ect... What's realistic as far as rent prices go?

• Answer:

  Ernst&Young have calculated that for the same quality of life, the budget for Lyon comes out 30% lower than the budget for Paris. That way you really would save an amount of money. Have a look at the chart that gives you all the details, where renting a place actually holds the first place; it's almost twice cheaper than in Paris: http://www.aderly.com/lyon/contents/lyon-attractivite-business/cost-of-living-in-lyon.jsp?lang=2 Enjoy your stay:)
