Living in Paris

 

Bienvenue à Paris!

Paris - a city of lights, history, arts, and surprises...

In addition to providing a vibrant learning environment for our students, the city center location of the International School of Paris allows our families to find a home within the city limits, and to enjoy life in Paris to the fullest. On this page, you will find useful links and information about what it is like to live in this city, called by many 'la plus belle ville du monde!'

Watch the video below for a bright beginning to your Paris journey!

 

That Paris exists and anyone could choose to live anywhere else in the world will always be a mystery to me.
