There are some American cities where prices are similar. The data is old, but Dallas was about $10k cheaper per head than NYC was in 2015.

Of course, in America rents in NYC and SF are going to drive up the averages by a lot, with companies like FB and Google willing to pay huge amounts for prime real estate and luxury build outs.

So the interesting question for you is: how much are rents in Paris, and how does that affect the averages of France as a whole?
