French cities with tramways (mostly modern LRT), together with populations of the agglomeration (entire associated urban area). Of the 22 cities, 14 have populations less than Hamilton's city population of 505,000, not including the population of any neighbouring municipalities (Hamilton's CMA population is almost 700,000 and the associated agglomeration is over 6 million). Many are far smaller, with populations less than 300,000.

Note that several of Paris's lines are exclusively in secondary cities of the associated suburbs, e.g. T4, T6 (opening 2013), T7 (opening 2013).
