For a brief description of our cooperative : What is the Ciguë?
The only way to join our mailing list to receive the rooms notices is to come personally to the Ciguë’s office on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
Due to pandemic situation, this procedure has changed. Please read above for further information.
From then on and during two months, you will receive the announcements of available rooms with the address, the rents and the contacts.
What follows is what we call the allocation system : when a room is available in an apartment that already exists, it is this apartment’s inhabitants who
choose their new roommate during a meeting that they will organize. You will be able to visit the room at this moment. In case of new housings, the Ciguë’s commission of allocation, formed by voluntary cooperators, will take care of meeting the candidates.
In the Ciguë, we do not hold waiting lists, nor bookings. Also we do not take applications by email.
