Hi,
I am looking for insight into which carriers have metropolitan or last mile networks in this city. Preferably connected to Paris.

Rod,
We have carriers in France. Can you provide end point addresses and phone numbers along with desired services?
Thank you,

Hi Rod,
SFR (soon to be renamed Altice) and Orange for sure have metropolitan
networks in Lille.
There might be others depending on your needs.
Altice is in the States and going public soon. They have been producing superior financial results. Appears to know how to run these cable networks better than the standard American management.
There's also Eurafibre, I guess.

They don't actually lay any cable though, nor do they build their own
network. They have been acquiring other telecoms at a brisk pace for 15
years as the industry consolidates. (They are debt heavy, especially for
a European company, and this upcoming IPO is a 20% sale to grab more
capital, riding the wave of recent market bullishness for U.S.
telecoms.)
Not sure if any of us network engineers will like them in 2 - 4 years -
but you're a business consultant seeing this from a different
perspective. 
Hello Rod,
Altice France can sell you optical links or optical transport or IPv4/v6 transit from any to any point in France. Lille to Paris should be OK.
For last mile networks we should be able to help you since we have the biggest optical network in France (we have approximately 2 million fiber optic customers).
If you can provide with the exact GPS points you wish to connect we could try to estimate the price with you. Do you want black fiber or MPLS transport ?
Last time i did that for one of our backbones, i ended up using optical transmission which is based on 100g links. Quick and easy.
Regards,
Alexis Letessier
Hi all,
I beg to differ Scott, the SFR Group owned by Altice lays its own Fiber
Optic networks and are present in all major cities in France. Each company
that has been part of the group has a solid knowledge of fiber deployments
for B2C and B2B clients.
The mergers and acquisitions has helped the group consolidate many networks
and add more capillarity nationwide.
Regards,
