What is the 2nd largest city in France ?

Travel Tips
Lyons is traditionnally second, but it depends on the definitions! (some figures include Aix in Marseilles area, for example).

"Urban areas", 1999
Paris: 11 174 743 inhabitants
Lyons: 1 648 216
Marseilles: 1 516 340

"Urban units", 1999
Paris: 9 644 507
Marseilles: 1 349 772
Lyons: 1 348 832

The cities only ranking ("communes") is quite different, 1999:
Paris: 2 147 857 (2 144 700, 2004)
Marseilles: 807 071 (808 700, 2004)
Lyons: 453 187 (465 300, 2004)

I think the first ranking is better, as France has got a lot of small cities included in the same urban areas (the city of Bordeaux, for example, has got only 212 000 inhabitants, but 925 000 if you consider the urban area of over 40 towns around, all of them having grown because of the proximity of Bordeaux).
