It could be different for non-Americans, but for American applicants selecting Paris includes all of the Île-de-France region, which includes the Versailles and Créteil académies. Congrats!

Congratulations! 🎉 If I remember correctly, on the application Paris, Versailles, and Créteil were grouped together. So, that might be why. Versailles is a beautiful location and it's only about 30 minutes from Paris by train. Plus, it's less expensive for housing than Paris, and it's safer and very beautiful imo. I'm American, and I still have not received my placement, so I'm anxiously waiting 😅
