Hi, it's Cyprien.

0:00:02.490,0:00:05.135
I know that it's been a while since I've done any videos for my blog

0:00:05.135,0:00:07.947
It's been what...uh...since 2004.

0:00:08.684,0:00:09.825
Really...

0:00:09.825,0:00:12.489
It's been a few weeks since I moved apartments.

0:00:12.489,0:00:16.851
I will show you my technique for getting an apartment in Paris.

0:00:16.851,0:00:19.620
To have an apartment in Paris, it's really simple

0:00:19.620,0:00:20.913
You just need to do one thing

0:00:22.913,0:00:24.457
A LOT OF LUCK.

0:00:24.457,0:00:27.401
Me, I lived in an apartment that was 20 square meters for two.

0:00:27.401,0:00:30.173
You take out bathroom and the furniture and what's left?

0:00:31.312,0:00:33.142
One square meter of "vital living space".

0:00:33.142,0:00:35.167
It's good. A square meter.

0:00:35.167,0:00:38.094
Excuse me, your chair is in my vital living space.

0:00:38.371,0:00:41.445
Yup, I've counted the floorboards.

0:00:41.445,0:00:43.925
You have 7 and I have 5.

0:00:45.520,0:00:49.972
To becomes aware of the state of the housing market at Paris...

0:00:49.972,0:00:51.610
That's a sentence with big words.

0:00:51.610,0:00:56.069
[apocalyptic housing market music]

0:00:56.069,0:00:59.738
Well, to realise how crazy it is you need to be there for open house.

0:00:59.738,0:01:01.850
In my old apartment it took 5 minutes.

0:01:01.850,0:01:05.046
In that time, there were three visits.

0:01:07.860,0:01:10.078
It's a good thing then that the apartment was so small

0:01:10.078,0:01:11.788
The visits were faster

0:01:11.788,0:01:13.864
Excuse me, is this the open house?

0:01:16.598,0:01:17.326
Thanks, bye.

0:01:17.326,0:01:20.250
It makes me laugh when people take pictures.

0:01:20.665,0:01:22.083
Of my apartment...

0:01:22.083,0:01:23.795
I'll take a photo.

0:01:28.516,0:01:29.939
It's good, thanks.

0:01:30.648,0:01:33.953
I'm happy that I'm not living in that room anymore

0:01:33.953,0:01:37.455
There was enough vital living space

0:01:37.931,0:01:43.768
but the walls were made of tracing paper.

0:01:43.768,0:01:46.761
When my neighbours talked I thought I was part of the conversation

0:01:46.761,0:01:49.410
Can you bring the flour please?

0:01:49.410,0:01:51.828
I don't have any more flour, sorry.

0:01:51.828,0:01:52.833
Listen to that!

0:01:52.833,0:01:54.735
The neighbour thinks we're talking to him!

0:01:54.735,0:01:55.623
How lame!

0:01:57.038,0:01:57.788
Actually I can hear everything-

0:01:57.788,0:01:58.538
He can hear everything!

0:01:58.538,0:01:59.290
Lame.

0:02:01.365,0:02:02.978
You need to know that landlords

0:02:02.978,0:02:06.231
are the most paranoid people on the planet

0:02:06.231,0:02:08.739
more than the kid from Sixth Sense that sees dead people

0:02:08.739,0:02:10.401
You need to sign a million insurance forms

0:02:10.401,0:02:12.163
to make sure that you've properly paid your rent

0:02:12.163,0:02:14.927
I had to sign a form to say that I would pay my rent

0:02:14.927,0:02:16.699
even in a natural disaster

0:02:16.699,0:02:19.965
like when a meteor falls to Earth and all human life is destroyed.

0:02:19.965,0:02:21.220
Just in case.

0:02:22.897,0:02:25.217
What is this paper? What did I just sign?

0:02:25.217,0:02:28.078
That's over now. I moved.

0:02:28.078,0:02:28.530
Hold up.

0:02:29.268,0:02:30.267
I've got a bathtub.

0:02:35.131,0:02:38.300
It reminds me of my vital living space.

0:02:38.300,0:02:39.557
It's good.

0:02:40.973,0:02:45.205
As you've noticed, I haven't decorated much.

0:02:45.205,0:02:48.217
It isn't very personalized I think.

0:02:50.878,0:02:52.848
I have frames with nothing in it.

0:02:52.848,0:02:56.078
I don't know this person.

0:02:56.078,0:02:58.291
I don't have a cat either.

0:02:58.291,0:03:00.704
I have a problem with this apartment

0:03:00.704,0:03:02.659
because of the locks.

0:03:02.659,0:03:05.669
Every time I see it, I say WHY?!

0:03:08.820,0:03:09.720
WHY?!

0:03:11.459,0:03:15.307
Maybe the last tenant was a leprechaun.

0:03:16.137,0:03:18.928
Maybe that explains my balcony.

0:03:25.572,0:03:29.092
They could have the whole family on there.

0:03:29.092,0:03:30.154
I don't know.

0:03:30.154,0:03:32.868
That's I have to update you on.

0:03:32.868,0:03:34.376
I don't have a Facebook page

0:03:34.376,0:03:36.335
but I have Twitter and a blog.
