	Great quiz. Can't wait to do the same for UK, Germany etc.

	I was trying to go by Ligue 1 but I forgot Saint Etienne, the most times winner!

	RedLIon:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 04:28 GMT	5 points
	I'm 40% French! :) Loved this quiz. Maybe we could get one for the provinces/departmentes?

	Thanks to Asterix, which I read when I was a kid, and to the folks who translated it into English.

	@DasFengster, there's already a quiz of most populous UK metro areas.

	Hanz:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 05:00 GMT	3 points
	I don't know if it is impressive or shameful that 99.9 percent of quiz takers knew of Paris... I mean who would miss that?

	I have to thank the Europa Universalis games for most of my answers

	I sent a quiz similar to this about French cities, but I guess Sporcle already had this one planned? Good quiz otherwise.

	I have to thank the board game Here I Stand and the computer game Civilization for the answers I got.

	darkthorn:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 05:44 GMT	2 points
	This is a great quiz . . . although i don't think my french teacher will be proud of my results. I aced her french cities final but failed on this one! haha

	Morby:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 09:06 GMT	3 points
	well I only got 3. I got Brest because I had a Pen Pal from there when I was a kid. I got Grenoble because Andre The Giant was from there. And I got Paris.

	Ligue 1 was a huge help here. Also, Saint Etienne are an awesome band.

	Pistol:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 10:24 GMT	9 points
	Great quiz. Can we please have one for Germany, Spain and Italy, and maybe Japan, India, China and South Africa?

	Freddie:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 11:18 GMT	4 points
	As everyones said before, Ligue 1 was my main resource. Football deserves an award for singlehandedly boosting the geographical knowledge of a sizable portion of the world's citizens.

	Mr Bojangles:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 11:29 GMT	-2 points
	Got 13. Quite pleaed with that, thought I'd do worse. Though being a football fan Ligue 1 helped a lot.

	ZeZapatiste:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 11:34 GMT	8 points
	Got 19, I missed Nîmes. I would not have thought it was among the 20 more populous cities in my country. By the way, Toulouse and Paris are a little bit misplaced ! Great quiz, by the way :)

	Contrary to common beliefs of the day, the French have not alwayts been known for surrendering and relying on the U.S. for support, that was judt from WWI on. France was the mightiest nation in the world from 1600s to 1790, much longer than the U.S.'s reign from 1945-2009. Besides those glorious years, France has been around since 843. Compare 2000 years of history to 233.

	By my count, there are 7 one-syllable cities on this list. For those of you whose work day is as slow as mine, can you think of any large one-syllable U.S. cities? The only ones that come to mind right now are Flint and Nome, but there's got to be something bigger.

	jaymc:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 17:14 GMT	-1 points
	That's a great question, Russell. Unbelievably, I think it's Orange, Calif., the 177th largest city in the U.S. -- but some would even dispute whether "Orange" is one syllable or two. In which case it would have to be Flint, at #216.

	peanut4:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 18:02 GMT	5 points
	C'est jolie. Loved this. Can we have more for other European countries?

	johnlk:	Jun 26th, 2009 at 18:04 GMT	2 points
	Orange is surely two syllables. Also, I was rather surprised by Angers being on the list. Missed that and Le Havre.

	J'oublie ma Francais! Three weeks out of class and all basic knowledge is flushed from my mind...
