Nope you can't stop over. You'll need to get a transit visa beforehand.

What does it have to do with your poll, though? Or have I missed something?

actually, I hate all three. I wouldn't stay for more than a couple of days in any of them.

London is a ripoff, grossly overrated and I generally cannot stand the snobbish people who live there.

Paris is also damn expensive and Parisians, generally damn rude.

and don't even get me started on NYC.

Give me smaller and livelier cities like Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Prague, Boston, LA or San Francisco anyday.

Typically you do not need a transit visa in France, though it depends on whether you are staying within one airline and one airport.

If you want to stop over, by all means do. But you will need a visa.
