That's why you use osmosis to trim it down to what you want.

The following osmosis command gives me a 34 MB XML file when run on
the France PBF file from geofabrik.

osmosis --read-pbf france.osm.pbf \
             --tf accept-ways "place=*" \
             --tf accept-nodes "place=*"
             --tf accept-relations "place=*"
             --write-xml france_place.osm
