Nice quizz, but some cities shouldn't appear in this ranking as they are part of other urban areas that are already listed above.

- Roubaix and Tourcoing are part of the urban area of Lille (and therefore are already counted in the 1.2 million inh.)

- Villeurbanne is part of the urban area of Lyon

- Argenteuil, Montreuil, Nanterre, Saint-Denis (1/2), Boulogne-Billancourt and Versailles are all included in the 12.1 million inh. of the urban area of Paris (it's actually the population of the whole Île-de-France, but whether it could be considered thoroughly as an urban area is questionable)

- The 1.0 m inh for Nice is almost equal to the population of the Alpes-Maritimes département, which also includes Cannes...

-For Marseille, this number also includes the population of Aix-en-Provence...

I believe there might be some others!
