I met with a project team on Monday. The team included representatives from France, China, Russia, Tunisia, and Brazil. English was the working language.
None of the companies or products involved are high-profile household names, or thought of as especially international in scope. The meeting was held in a provincial town, removed from the Paris area.
Being able to work with cosmopolitan project teams is a major draw for me. It's something that I've found in France. It's something that I hadn't expected but that I welcome.
