Paris is quite cost-effective for Europeans; a quick train ride from London, Brussels or a 1 hour and a half flight from capitals of western europe.
I'm not especially defending the choice of Paris. Brussels or London or Berlin would have been at least as good. Sometimes it's nice to hold engineering meetings elsewhere than in the Valley.
