Paris - Post Report Question and Answers

What are the particular advantages of living in this city?

Unfortunately, though we were assigned to Paris, our housing is on the far side of a suburb. Unless your kids are going to ASP and you want them to have the shortest possible commute, then there are no advantages to living in our neighborhood. We miss out on being able to experience Paris, as we aren’t able to partake in embassy events/activities and our work/life balance has suffered. - May 2022
