This world-famous city needs no introduction – it is fairly self-evident why Paris is an ideal setting for a business French course – but if you don’t already know, here are some of the key reasons you should study business French in Paris: if Paris was a country in itself it would have the 17th largest economy in the world. As it is, the city is the 6th largest city in the world terms of GDP and is one of the few economic areas that didn’t suffer a decrease in growth during the crisis of 2008.
The service industry accounts for half of Paris’ GDP, mostly made up of business and financial services. However, Paris is one of the few cities whose specialist sectors are far reaching and non-specific. Paris is home to the world headquarters of 25 Fortune Global 500 companies – more than any other city in the world except Tokyo. Aside from business and financial services, Paris enjoys a thriving tourism, hospitality, food, culture and art industry.
