The inner-ring Paris suburb that became, against all odds, a screen town: the Actor bench runs at better than four times the global baseline, and the Screenwriter and Film clusters line up behind it like a studio lot. Layer in the Historian and Journalist benches and you get something unexpected for a commuter commune, a kind of Left Bank-adjacent intelligentsia with a movie habit.
