How can't you like Paris ?? Awesome city , breathtakingly beautiful - and one also get top notch service and life standard if they have money (same in london)
I used to like London a lot, it's a very happening city with nice places to go out, and I did quite a bit of money there but after 2007/2008 my business there went down the drain - with the local economy- but now with kids I think it'd be a far cry from Paris. I can think of other european cities which could be more kids friendly than Paris though, at least in Switzerland, Germany and Scandinavia.

To be honest, just a matter of taste, really... Mostly it's the people. In fact, nobody likes the Parisians, even the other French, so I'm not alone. I love the other parts of France, especially Normandy. But, as I said, it's just my personal preference, is all.

For the average person you are better of in France then in the UK.
What's your average person? An North African migrant, a union leader, a teacher turned politician or maybe a manager in a French government controlled corporation?

maybe he meant any non commonwealth citizen ??
Joke asides, and not supporting the frog central banker, London never shows up in the top 10 (nor 20 ?) city in the world of any quality of life study, whereas Paris does , so in this sense no matter wether you are lower or middle or upper class, in the public or private sector, Paris should fare better - and I suspect France should win over UK in the same manner.

To be more precise, a North African migrant perceiving unemployment benefits 3 times, a union leader who can't work anymore because he has a 30% handicap on the left hand, a teacher who-spent-2-months-per-year-on-strike turned politician and a guy who really likes his job because since work finish at 5 pm , at 3:30pm he is at home....

...opening the 2nd bottle of red wine for the day as he prepares a cheese platter while lamenting to his wife he only had a two hour lunch break.
