In France, apartments located in buildings are described in property advertisements by their number of rooms (T1, T2...).
The smallest apartment is a studio. It consists of a single room, which may have several functions (bedroom, kitchen, living room, study), and a bathroom and a WC which may or may not be separate from the bathroom.
Larger apartments are identified by a letter T (type) and a number indicating the number of rooms in the apartment. The kitchen, bathroom and WC are not counted.
You will also find "bis" apartments, for example "T2bis". This means that one of the 2 rooms in the apartment is large enough to be divided into 2 rooms.
Types of Accomodation
- Studio : 1 room with kitchenette + bathroom;
- T1 : 1 main room + kitchen + bathroom;
- T1 to T2: 1 main room + 1 room with kitchenette + bathroom;
- T2: 2 rooms + kitchen + bathroom.
- T3: 3 rooms (2 bedrooms + 1 living room) + 1 kitchen + 1 bathroom (with separate WC or included)
- T3 bis: 3 rooms (2 bedrooms + 1 sitting room), one of which is large enough to be divided into two separate areas + 1 kitchen + 1 bathroom (with separate WC or included).
