Remote work has exploded in popularity over the past year, proving one of the few upsides to the COVID-19 pandemic. Once dismissed in France, it's now mainstream, delivering pleasant surprises. Most professionals have embraced it, citing greater productivity. No wonder—especially for those who can work remotely from another country.
