Perth is also known as the city of lights. In 1962 everyone turned on their lights as Friendship 1 with John Glenn aboard as he passed overhead. it apparently was a spectacular sight as the city is so isolated. There are about 30 other cities called this so probably best not to have them as options as well.

dollis1963, in 1870 there were 56,573 gas lamps in Paris. A small army of 750 allumeuts aka lamplighters in uniform lit the lamps within 40 minutes each night. Thank you Wikipedia.

MrAustralianMan, Yes. The question was wrongly worded. Paris, as they say in the answer, is the City of Light. Not lights.

OK people, let's clarify. Perth is called 'The City of LightS' and Paris is called 'The City of Light'. Read the question properly before getting all any. End of discussion.

Player #37202422, WRONG. Check your history, Paris was known as the city of Light well before Perth was.
