6.3. Use of Newspapers/Magazines

In relation to the press then, unless you have a particularly special property, or one located in Paris, it is likely to be a waste of time to advertise in the French national newspapers. Instead, advertise in regional and local newspapers, or specialist French property magazines.

Their rates are more attractive and most people looking for somewhere to rent use them rather than the national newspapers.

If you are looking to attract those thinking of relocating from abroad then you could also advertise in one or another of the monthly English 'glossies' on France.

For local tenants the best advertising outlet is often the local free local newspapers, which you will find distributed around in shops and public places. These are also often the best indicator of the level of rents in the area and the type and level of supply.
