Let the housing search begin!

I've never had to find an apartment before, let alone in a foreign country. What am I doing? If I don't get scammed I'll consider myself lucky.

Anyway, the assistant's handbook has a bunch of housing websites on page 16, but the links don't work so I've typed them up here, for easy reference:

Housing websites

You can also look through your local Centre Regional d'Information Jeunesse by searching CRIJ and the name of your region.
