It'd be fascinating to get some numbers on this in general actually I wonder if a large tourist events or just the tourist season in general sees a large uptake in healthcare being done in France for foreigners? Particularly for Americans.

Tourists have to pay usually, though it might still be cheaper than in the states. Olympic athletes get free healthcare.
