			<description><![CDATA[Considered the most dynamic market in Europe, the business real estate market in France has broken the record for transactions volume (2.8 million sq. m of office space distributed in 2006 and 2.6 million sq. m in 2007) and investments totaling € 28.5 billion in 2007. Some 76% of this investment volume is office space, 11% is linked to logistic and industrial sector real estate and 13% is related to trade real estate. Therefore, the French market is attractive to international investors, who represent 65% of building purchasers in France (which includes 28% of North American funds – the leading investor in this market).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As two of the most important economic hubs in the world, Paris and London are top-choice destinations for international investors in Europe. Both cities boast talented workers, productive labor forces and world-class infrastructure. When overall key living and business factors are compared, Paris offers many advantages over London. It has a modern and efficient transportation network, and is centrally located in the heart of Europe and the single European market.<br />
As the world’s leading tourist destination (78 million tourists in 2006), France is a diverse nation, with a high standard of living that complements the economic benefits of Paris. The cost of setting up a business in London has now reached a very high level, giving Paris a significant competitive edge.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This report presents a review of around twenty indexes, among those which attract the most media attention, in order to highlight the differences in their objectives, methods and results, and in order to explain why the methods used to establish France’s score in each one are either valid or, on the contrary, debatable. The final chapter of this report presents a more detailed analysis of the work carried out by the World Economic Forum, the IMD, the European Commission (particularly its follow- up of the “Lisbon process”) and the IFA’s (Invest in France Agency) Attractiveness of France Scoreboard.]]></description>
