Real Parisians now live in the suburb, there is some very nice towns in the suburbs. (Others not so nice, it depends where you go).

16 out of the top 20 French communes by household incomes are in the Parisian suburbs [0]. Generally, the western suburbs are richer, as well as the ones directly next to Paris.

The list is too long. But for example, Rueil-Malmaison is a good suburb.
