Paris, France

As the OECD headquarters are located in Paris, most employees live in the “City of Lights”. In addition to the excellent food, wine, rich cultural heritage, diverse population and Haussmannian architecture, the capital of France has much to offer by way of international sporting and cultural events. The city is split into 20 ‘arrondissements’, each with their own character, and all connected by a vast network of affordable public transportation options. The two OECD headquarters are easily accessible, with a free shuttle service for staff members between the offices. Additionally, Paris has two international airports and several train stations connecting the city to the rest of France, Europe and the world.
A few OECD staff members are stationed in other cities including Berlin, Mexico City, Tokyo and Washington DC.
