Not really a separate city so much as the wealthiest western suburb of Paris, and the bench is the bench of the Paris haute bourgeoisie. Neuilly's distinctive professions are film professionals, journalists, business figures, screenwriters, photographers, and historians — the shape of a town where editors, producers, and politicians live side by side. Marine Le Pen, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Léa Seydoux, Louis Aragon, and Anaïs Nin all grew up here, and more than four in five of the names were born after 1900.
