Natalie Portman enjoys the privacy Paris offers after leaving Los Angeles

The "Black Swan" star recently moved back to Paris before her divorce, and decided to stay to raise their two children, Aleph, 13, and Amalia, 8, there.

"All the kids that come to my house are, like, 'bonjour Madame' - and give me the bise [cheek-to-cheek kiss]," she said. "And before they leave, they are, like, 'thank you for having me' - and if I'm not nearby, they'll come and find me to say it." 

The couple previously moved to Paris in 2014 after Millepied was hired as the director for the Paris Opera Ballet, but came back to Los Angeles in 2016. 

At the time, she told Jimmy Kimmel after moving back to the States that everyone seemed really friendly in L.A. as opposed to France, where people are a bit "cool."

She explained to the comedian that there are a lot of "codes of behavior" compared to L.A., where it's "looser."

She added, "I find the people here are actually incredibly friendly - you just have to know how to interact, so that we're not the ones being rude. Now, when I go back to the U.S., I'm like, 'Oh,' I would go into a store and not say hello to everyone there? It's weird."

The New York native said she also enjoys soaking up all the culture the City of Light has to offer.
