Courbevoie is a major French city in the Île-de-France region, located northwest of Paris on the left bank of the Seine. The city's history dates back to Gallo-Roman times, but its modern transformation began in the 19th century with industrialization and the construction of railways. Today, Courbevoie is world-renowned because a significant portion of the La Défense business district, the largest of its kind in Europe, lies within its municipal boundaries. This gives the city an impressive skyline of skyscrapers, including the Tour First. Alongside its ultra-modern economic sector, Courbevoie preserves a rich cultural heritage, such as the Pavillon des Indes, originally built for the 1878 World's Fair. The city is characterized by a high quality of life, numerous green spaces like the Parc de Bécon, and excellent connections to the Parisian transport network, making it a highly desirable place to live and work.
