I suppose its a matter of feel. I understand the part about it being just a slice of France, but Paris is the capital, the culmination of everything french so to speak. That clock motif is a perfect example...where some cities introduce themselves to the world with a few printed letters on a thin metal sign on a post, they make that clock.
