Join my email list for more practical info about living in France: https://fired-up-in-france-2.kit.com/dacaa289dd I’m Suzi, I’m American, and I’ve been living in Dijon, France since 2008. In my latest video, I dive into Dijon's recent achievement of being named France's #1 intermediate metropolis according to the 2025 Arthur Loyd attractiveness barometer. I compare my personal experiences with the official ranking criteria, exploring the city's economic strengths, business-friendly environment, excellent connectivity, and outstanding quality of life. I examine how Dijon stands out with its strong urban amenities, public transportation, healthcare access, rich gastronomic heritage, and university offerings, while also acknowledging areas for improvement like bike infrastructure and housing costs. Whether you're considering moving to France, planning a visit, or simply curious about what makes medium-sized French cities attractive, this analysis provides valuable insights into why Dijon earned its crown as the top intermediate metropolis in 2025.
