The order of a sentence
Hello everyone, actually my question is very easy today but I just wondering whether my idea is right or not.
I have lived in Paris with my family for a long time and I think Paris is a very nice city.
So, I want to include all those informations in one sentence.
Is it correct that "I have lived in Paris, which is a very nice city, with my family for a long time." ? Thank you in advance.

" The word order is very awkward. Learners often try to include too much information in a single sentence. Perhaps it reflects the way their own language works.

0You need something more like these:
I have lived in the beautiful city of Paris with my family for a long time.
I have lived for a long time with my family in the beautiful city of Paris.
Or, if you insist on a relative clause with the word 'nice':
I have lived for a long time with my family in Paris, which is a nice city.
