I have really high hopes that starups/high tech companies will also flourish outside of Paris. France has some really great medium sized cities - compact, livable, full of character and with much lower costs. I'm hoping that some of them will develop the core of a startup scene that will draw in more people and generally make them exciting. Toulouse already has this to an extent with Airbus being there, generally very active in aerospace and robotics.
