What if I don't want to live in Paris? After all, there are other cities, yes?

Paris's relationship to France is something like NYC's to New York State.

Sure, Buffalo exists, but would you start a startup there?

If you don't want to find clients, then by all means live somewhere else. ;)

France is very Paris-centric, especially in terms of the service industry.

There is a startup scene in Toulouse and this city is really nice (and close to the sea and the moutains)

Let's make it simple:

Paris has maybe 10% of the tech scene of London.

Lyon (2nd city of France) has maybe 10% of the tech scene of Paris.
