That infamously is on several lists of one of the worst place to do business in the world (because it is first place in red tape and associated costs, also very high in corruption, tax rate, and so on...)
Yet, I've seen with my own eyes a ever bigger community of french business people here, there are LOTS of rich french, or young french, coming here and doing business here, and some of them I talked, absolutely hate Brazil (regarding business aspects, violence, and some other stuff), but imply (they never reply directly when I ask, and some get offended) that yet Brazil is still better to live than France...
This makes me believe something VERY WRONG is going on there... Usually it was the dream of Brazillians to move to France, not the opposite!
London has been called France's sixth biggest city. According to this BBC article from March 2012 there is an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 French citizens living in London. That's more than the population of Bordeaux, Nantes or Strasbourg.
