The largest French cities in the world are...

Quick - name the top five cities that house the most French citizens. Surely you guessed Paris as the largest, and that's correct. There are 2.3 million French citizens in the City of Lights. Next is Marseille with 859,000 followed by Lyon with 488,000. Next in line is Toulouse with 447,000 and rounding out the top five is Nice, with a French population of 344,000.

But you'll never guess number six.

Here's a hint - it isn't Nantes, Bordeaux or Alsace. Did that help? I didn't think so.

France's 6th largest city is...

Wait for it...

London!

Yep, you read that right! According to the BBC and the French Consulate in London, there are between 300,000 and 400,000 French citizens living in the British capital!
