Like crowds? We show the most visited places in France

In addition to the 'most famous places in France' it is interesting to see which places are top by number of visitors - the most visited places in France.

Perhaps surprisingly the two lists are not the same, although certain key Paris landmarks appear on both lists. Theme Parks play a much larger role in the list of 'top places in France' when judged by visitor numbers. The top places to see when judged by numbers of visitors are:

Disneyland ParisDisneyland Paris - theme park
