FAQ – Flatsharing in Nantes
How Much Does a Flatshare Cost in Nantes?
While a studio in Nantes often ends up costing more once you add furnishings, subscriptions and other hidden fees, our furnished flatshare rooms are available from €530/month, bills and services included. No nasty surprises: everything is included in your rent.
Take the time to compare our offers — the difference quickly becomes clear.
Is Flatsharing Suited to Young Professionals?
Yes, especially so. The accommodation is furnished and ready to live in: you drop your bags and you're settled. The lease, simplified and flexible, adapts to professional mobility — a new job, a transfer, and you remain free to organise what comes next.
Flatsharing also lets you share costs while enjoying comfortable accommodation in well-connected neighbourhoods. And in Nantes, a dynamic city with an attractive employment market, it's an opportunity to meet new people and build a network from the moment you arrive.
Is It Hard to Find a Flatshare in Nantes?
The Nantes market is indeed a tight one: the city attracts large numbers of students and young professionals every year, and demand often outstrips the available supply. Searching for a flatshare on your own can therefore take time and perseverance.
With Colonies, the search becomes much simpler. Our listings include photos and virtual tours so you can picture yourself in the property before even travelling there, your application file is put together entirely online, and our furnished rooms are ready to live in from the moment you arrive. Everything you need to settle in Nantes without the formalities that usually complicate the search.
Can You Move in Quickly with Colonies?
Yes — it is actually one of the major advantages of flatsharing with Colonies. Our Paris homes are fully furnished and equipped: bedding, kitchen, household appliances — everything is ready to live in from the moment you arrive. There is no need to buy furniture or wait for deliveries.
The application process is 100% online: you submit your application file in just a few clicks, without having to go anywhere in person. Once your file has been approved, you sign your lease electronically and can move in within just a few days.
All that is left to do is unpack your bags, meet your flatmates and enjoy Paris.
Does Colonies Offer Flatshares Close to Universities?
Yes, our flatshares are well located for student life. We are present in the 10th, 11th, 13th, 14th, 17th and 20th arrondissements, as well as in the inner suburbs in Montreuil, Ivry-sur-Seine and Montrouge. The 13th and 14th offer welcome proximity to several universities and the Cité internationale universitaire.
From our other areas, public transport makes it easy to reach the Paris campuses. Wherever you study, you will therefore find a flatshare well connected to your place of study.

Nantes in a few words
Historic capital of the Dukes of Brittany, Nantes is today a dynamic, creative metropolis resolutely focused on the future. Regularly ranked among the most attractive cities in France, it charms with its heritage, its cultural life and its exceptional natural setting. Crossed by the Loire and just an hour from the Atlantic Ocean, it offers an ideal balance between city and nature. It is therefore a magnificent city for living in a flatshare, whether in a flat or a house.
The must-sees of Nantes
You can't talk about Nantes without mentioning its iconic places:
Les Machines de l’Île, in particular the famous mechanical elephant.
Le Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the historic symbol of the city.
Le Passage Pommeraye, a shopping arcade listed as a historic monument.
Le Hangar à Bananes, an unmissable spot for going out on the banks of the Loire.
L’Île de Versailles, a Japanese garden in the heart of the city.
These places, spanning culture, heritage and leisure, help make Nantes a city where it's great to live and study.
Property in Nantes: what salary do you need to live there?
The Nantes property market is attractive but tight. Rents remain more affordable than in Paris, but have risen in recent years with the arrival of many students and young people. To live comfortably in Nantes in a flatshare or a house, a net monthly salary of around €1,300 to €1,600 is recommended, depending on the type of home and the neighbourhood — a room in a flatshare will cost more than a flat. Flatsharing considerably reduces costs while giving you a more spacious, better-located home.
The advantages of flatsharing in Nantes
Flatsharing in Nantes is particularly attractive for several reasons:
A controlled budget: sharing the rent and the bills.
An enriching social life: daily encounters and exchanges.
A larger, better-equipped home: access to modern common areas.
Welcome flexibility: ideal for students or young people on the move.
