Près de Notre Dame


On top of Notre Dame actually.

I have returned to Paris at the beginning of September and started my new job at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). I am based in the Trade and Agriculture Directorate, Natural Resources Policy Division, where I will analyse the environmental impact of agricultural policies across industrialised countries and their emerging partner economies.

This is a completely new field of work for me so I hope to learn a lot. I am still investigating the options to keep on blogging about my work. It looks like it will be possible in principle as the OECD is also keen to have an online presence. If it happens, I will continue logging these institutional blogs here. However, the opinions I express and arguments I employ here are solely my own and do not necessarily reflect the official views of the OECD or its member countries.

I have already joined the Choeur Varenne choir again and I look forward to enjoying many musical delights, both from a stage and in an audience. In the meantime, I am enjoying the variety of foods available and relishing the bicycle rides through this great city.
