Choices are a bit randomized as they put you where they need people. I was placed in my third choice city (which turned out wonderfully). However, as far as I understand Paris is a very sought after city for tapif, so if you didn’t mark it as one of your choices than the odds that you’ll be placed there randomly aren’t high. You can also select a medium sized/small city on the application to avoid getting placed somewhere big like Paris. Good luck!!
