My family will be travelling to Paris and will stay for 6 weeks (end of May to early July). We are looking for an apartment where we can pay at most $6000. We have a 13 year old and 2 small kids under 3.
Thanks.

This sounds like a really wonderful time, but you need to start your apartment search immediately in order to be in once place for that long, as many places will have been booked in increments of a week or two. I would suggest getting on the phone to Vacation in Paris (based in New Jersey, www.vacationinparis.com) or Chez Vous (based in California, www.chezvous.com) so you can talk through your dates and options.
There are many apartments that would fit your price range but given the likelihood of prior bookings (especially for the more affordable places) you may have to move in the middle of your stay. Still, that would give you a chance to really experience more than one area of the city, which could be a good thing in itself.
Have fun with your planning, and introducing your children to Paris.

A thousand a week should get you a nice centrally located apt. The longer you stay the lower the price goes for many apts. There%26#39;s vrbo and many others to choose from. I would narrow down the areas you want and go from there.

I would also go to VRBO.com. When you speak to the rental contact, remember to negotiate. Long stays are desirable for the owner. Even if a desirable apartment is represented by an agency, ask that the inquiry be made to the owner before accepting the final price. Be very clear about what the apartment includes, and what the terms of the payment and security deposit are. You will have a great time, and this is marvelous for you and your kids.

I just (very belatedly) posted in the forum about our experience renting in Paris from Panache Apartment rentals for 6 weeks last spring. It is a US based company and Connie and Nader were great to work with. I would suggest that you consider emailing or calling them and see what they can find for you. The website is panacherental.com.
We had only been to France once before when we rented this apt. I found that a very nice feature of Panache is that their apts are managed by Servissimo in Paris - therefore, there is someone to contact if something is not working or if, like me, you cannot figure out how to set the washing machine so it goes through both the wash and the rinse cycles!
You have probably already thought about this but I would ask about AC for any apt you rent. We were in Paris June a year ago and it was VERY hot. Since so many buildings do not have AC it is important to ask.

We can recommend Parisian Flat (www.parisianflat.com). We have stayed in several of their flats over the last few years...all are renovated to high standards with modern kitchens and baths. They have flats located in the 5, 6 and 7th. Phillipe and Sofie are great to work with.
Others have had great feedback on Haven in Paris...again, great modern apartments...
I am so jealous...6 weeks.....
