Paris - Le Grand Rex

Grandrex_1
"Le Grand Rex" is one of the most famous cinema in Paris. This cinema is more than 50 years old and has a really nice Art-Deco facade.

Paris - La Grande Arche

Grandearche_1
There is no WTC building in Paris (as far as i know!) but this building: "La Grande Arche" is the more emblematic building of the business area of Paris called La Defense. This building is located on a road which end to the "Arc de Triomple" and is a kind of modern replica...

Mexico - World Trade Center

Wtc

This is the World Trade Center building in Mexico City.  Is there a WTC building in Paris? Or something equivalent?

Mexico - Panteón Civil

panteón civil
we do have a 'roundhose of the illustrious men' with many important characters, but this a civil cemetery in Iztapalapa [east of the city], that looks pretty much like any other cemetery in Mexico, with many crosses apparently in no order, and many little chapels that look like little houses for richer families, and a bunch of flowers and probably empty if it's not november 2nd. [death day].

Paris - Père Lachaise Cemetery

Perelachaise
Père Lachaise is one of the most well-known cemeteries in the world. Numerous famous people are buried there, including  Delacroix, Chopin, Balzac, Modigliani, Edith Piaf . . .

Paris - Guimard

Metroguimard
This is the Guimard entrance of the Denfert Rochereau entrance. I have found a website with all the Guimard stations (it is possible to find there metro stations that are almost identical to the one in Mexico city). It seems that during the 40s Guimard stations have been destroyed (!!!). A part of theses stations have been given to other cities metropolitan such as Montreal (Canada), Lisboa (Portugal) and of course Mexico city. So David it seems that the Guimard station you have in Mexico city is an original one!
