The FINANCIAL — Russia has offered the highest price for a plot of land in downtown Paris, France's Budget Ministry said in a statement on February 8, according to RIA Novosti.
Viktor Khrekov, a spokesman for the presidential property chief, told RIA Novosti earlier that Russia was planning to build a spiritual and cultural center on the current premises of the French national meteorological service, Meteo France.
Meteo France is expected to relocate in 2011.
