International Finance & Accountancy Jobs in France
France is one of the most cultured countries in the world and the French are renowned for their insatiable appetite for gastronomy, art, literature, philosophy and music. Paris houses some of the world’s greatest museums, monuments and architectural treasures and is one of the world’s most attractive and romantic cities. No longer an island unto itself, France’s traditional insularity has been replaced by a highly developed sense of international responsibility.
While doing battle with French bureaucracy is enough to discourage anybody, if you’re willing to meet them halfway and learn their language, you will invariably be warmly received and the French will go out of their way to ‘educate’ you in the finer points of good living. In fact, French civilisation has been described as ‘an exercise in enlightened self-indulgence’, providing what many believe is one of the world’s best lifestyles. Although not cheap (it is after all a European capital) you’ll get more for your money in Paris than in Zurich, Tokyo or Milan.
A key player on the world stage and a country at the political heart of Europe, France's colonial past is a major contributing factor in the presence of a richly diverse multicultural population. It is home to more than five million people of Arab and African descent.
It has a number of territories overseas which, together with mainland France and Corsica, go to make up the 26 regions which the country comprises. It is further divided into 100 departements, four of which - French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion - are geographically distant from Europe.
France has produced some of the continent's most influential writers and thinkers from Descartes and Pascal in the 17th century, through Rousseau and Voltaire in the 18th, Baudelaire and Flaubert in the 19th to Sartre and Camus in the 20th.
In the last two centuries it has given the art world the works of Renoir, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin, Matisse and Braque, to name but a few. It is also famous for its strong culinary tradition. France produces more than 250 cheeses and some of the world's best-loved wines.
