Hi Kali,

My husband and I just moved Lyon. A few websites we've used are:

seloger
vivastreet
pap (this is especially convenient if you don't have a guarantor)
fnaim

It depends on where you and your husband want to live. District 6 (6eme) is generally pricey, so is the Bellecour (touristy) area. District 7, 8, 9 and Villeurbanne are, I think, less expensive.

There are many real estate agencies here. Most charge ridiculous fees in my opinion, but if you don't speak the language, like my husband and I, it may be wise to enlist their help. We're working with Lamy, a huge agency, to get our apartment.

Perhaps people who've lived in Lyon longer can be more insightful !? I have only been here for ten days.

Best of luck!
