>I imagine in Europe, it's probably Paris and London that draws both French/British and foreigners.

Lol no. Most people go in Paris because it's where they can found a job opportunity or for studies but wouldn't have otherwise, and a whole part of the country (which I belong too) view it has a place to actively avoid for living. And I can't think of anyone that's hated more outside of Paris than Parisians.

Ha. You’re proving OP’s point without realizing it. Replace “Paris” with “New York City” and your statements are equally true.

Some people would say this exact sentence about New York.
