I think the surprise here is venice. Not most tourist go to Colmar in France, or to stonehenge in UK, or to mount fuji in Japan...

You’re saying it’s a suprise Venezia (Venice), has the most yearly tourists? Seems unsuprising to me. It’s all everyone talks about.

I mean Venice has near 10 times the name recognition of say Colmar.

I think a better comparison might be Machu Pichu in Peru?

If you want to stick to something French that isn't a big city, maybe mont st-michel? Maybe not quite the same recognition as Venice but huge tourist destination in relation to size kind of thing?
