Issy-les-Moulineaux, Médialand
The people who live in Issy-les-Moulineaux like to think of their hometown as a “village on Paris' doorstep”. From an economic standpoint, this town is none the less bustling with new-technologies and communication firms. It is home to 63,185 people and 70,000 work here, ranking it in the exclusive circle of towns boasting the liveliest economies. Its endeavours in Internet-related fields, for instance, have earned it a worldwide reputation. The quality of life here is also outstanding. Its street entertainment and large-scale sports events – including the Paris-Nice prologue – help make life in Issy fun, too.

Vanves, soothing greenery at Paris' gates
Vanves is a stone's throw from Paris and a superb place for its locals and visitors alike. It has kept its olde-worlde village charm untouched, while building a thriving economy and consistently cementing its identity as a town for learning and knowledge. It is home to Michelet School, Hachette, France 3, CNED and (in the near future) the Audiens Group. Its over 25,000 inhabitants have made Vanves a town on the go, and one featuring particularly lively sports and cultural attractions. It is also quiet and green, which is no doubt one factor enticing the Stade de Vanves' 3,300 athletes in every age group. And indeed anyone who values quiet and convenience will find the quality of life in Vanves, right outside Paris, outstanding.
