Neuilly, Charles de Gaulle

Businesses looking to establish themselves at the heart of commerce in Paris - and by implication France itself - hardly need to look farther afield than Neuilly. If location is the driver of business, then being on one of the main arterial routes into the capital and next to the thriving La Defense business heart of the city makes perfect commercial sense.

Occupiers can draw on a vast network of financial and professional bodies on their doorstep - the district even has its own English language business networking group - to drive their businesses forward. And with Paris' huge economy offering a complete mix of sectors, from banking, finance and professional services, through to aerospace, defence and motor manufacturing, Neuilly has a vast range of options for start-up and established businesses alike.
