I know of several: Lyon (have a friend who lives there and works for INTERPOL), Nice, Marseilles, Caen, Cannes, Calais, Verseilles (just a short trip down the river Seine from Paris); if you give me some more time I might be able to come up with some more...

I studied in Aix-en-Provence and visited about all of the CÃ´te d'Azur, les Gorges du Tarn and the Dordogne area.
I know the south mostly, and I could name around 20 cities in that region... Probably more.

Also had a boyfriend from Orange, one from Strasbourg and another one from Paris.
French lovers are the best! :-)

I'm an American living in Rouen, teaching in a small town a few miles away. I've heard of most of the big cities in France, even if I know nothing about them. Strasbourg was absolutely stunning (and I didn't even get to see it decked out for Noel)!

I am from North America, and am a little bit insulted by the question. Of course we have heard the names of a lot of cities in France other than Paris, its just that we can't, well, remember, their names..... Hey, we are not stupid, we are Americans.

i have no idea

Each day I read questions such as yours about how much Americans know about other countries. I find it rather odd. There is this concept around the world that Americans lack knowledge or rather, don't care to know anything that is not related to America. I have to completely disagree. The vast majority of Americans have taken considerable time whether during their formal education or on their own to learn a great deal about the cultures, languages, customs and geography of other countries. Many of us have also done extensive international travel to further our knowledge. In to answer your question, I am aware of a great number of cities in France, more than I can list here.
