Paris IB as a foreigner

Seeing as several BB's have been moving jobs to Paris, and more moves seeming inevitable, I am curious if anyone could shed light on disadvantages and advantages of working in Paris versus London as a non-French speaker?

I saw in some older threads that culture and language can be a major issue, but I was also thinking that this might be changing as more bankers move to Paris.
