Hotels in the Paris area received 2.9mn more foreign and French visitors compared to 2016, an increase of 9.5% that added 1.6bn ($2bn) to the sector's coffers, the tourism committee for the Paris region said.
"Tourism rebounded in spectacular fashion," the committee said in its annual report.
The recovery was particularly significant among overseas visitors, whose numbers rose 13.7% over the year, compared to 5.9% for French tourists.
Chinese, Japanese, American and German tourists all returned in large numbers to the City of Light, showing the effects of the attacks of November 2015 had largely worn off, the committee said.
The US continues to account for the largest share of foreign tourists in Paris, with 2.4 million visitors, ahead of China's 1.1 million.
