 Paris Area |
| Paris is the capital and the largest city of France. It’s located on the river Seine in northern France. Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centers, and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities. It hosts the headquarters of many international organizations such as UNESCO, the OECD, the International Chamber of Commerce or the European Space Agency. Paris is considered one of the greenest and most livable cities in Europe. It is also one of the most expensive. |

| Lyon area (Southeast) |
| Lyon is a city in east-central France in the Rhone-Alpes region, situated between Paris and Marseille. Lyon forms the largest agglomeration (urban area) in France outside Paris. The city is known for its historical and architectural landmarks and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lyon was historically known as an important area for the production and weaving of silk and in modern times has developed a reputation as the capital of gastronomy in France. It has a significant role in the history of cinema due to Auguste and Louis Lumière who invented the cinematography in Lyon. The city is also known for its famous light festival 'Fete des Lumieres' which occurs every 8 December and lasts for four days, that earned Lyon the title of Capital of Lights (not to be mixed up with Paris the city of lights). |

| Strasbourg Area (Northeast) |
| Strasbourg is the capital and principal city of the Alsace region in eastern France and is the official seat of the European Parliament. Located close to the border with Germany. The city and the region of Alsace are historically German-speaking, explaining the city's Germanic name. Strasbourg is the seat of several European institutions, such as the Council of Europe and the Euro corps, as well as the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of the European Union.
Strasbourg's historic city center, the Grande Ile (Grand Island), was classified a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1988, the first time such an honor was placed on an entire city center. Strasbourg is fused into the Franco-German culture and although violently disputed throughout history, has been a bridge of unity between France and Germany for centuries, especially through the University of Strasbourg, currently the largest in France, and the coexistence of Catholic and Protestant culture. |
