What is the main industry in Paris?

I think the main industry is clothing because thats what most of the tourists go there for.

Actually, France has many industries that are important to their economy. Agriculture plays a larger role than in the economies of most other industrial countries. A large proportion of the value of total agricultural output derives from livestock (especially cattle, hogs, poultry, and sheep).

The mountain areas and NW France are the livestock regions. The country's leading crops are wheat, sugar beets, corn, barley, and potatoes.

Of course, fruit growing is important in the south. France is among the foremost producers of wine in the world. The best-known vineyards are in Burgundy, Champagne, the Rhône and Loire valleys, and the Bordeaux region.

Also France's leading industries produce machinery, chemicals, automobiles, metals, aircraft, electronics equipment, textiles, and foods (especially cheeses). Advanced technology industries are also important. Coal, iron ore, bauxite, and other minerals are mined.

And yes, tourism is an important industry as Paris is famous for its luxury goods in particular fashion. You can find out more about the history, culture, and economy of France here http://www.answers.com/france?cat=travel
