With only Tourist Mc Donald's would not be profitable.
Unlike that most think Paris is far to be a tourist city, tourists don't go in most districts and see a very little part of the city (Like 20% of Inner Paris), it is in those districts that you find the most Starbucks, McD...
The large majority consumers of these globalized chain stores are parisian.
Don't be wrong, tourism is far to be the biggest industry of Paris, only 3% of Paris jobs are linked with the tourism compared per exemple at 12 % for the finance.
