What are the best regions in France for employment outside of Paris ? I have looked across the web and have been surprised how LITTLE information there is on the best areas to find work in France if you exclude Paris Specifically I am looking for areas where there are large number of multi nationals , global blue chips and manufacturers where perhaps English is spoken as a main language or at least alongside French From the limited information I have drawn up I have shortlisted several cities Toulouse , Rennes , Laval and Le Mans but any information would be greatly appreicated thanks
