Gotham City is modelled after New York (Manhatten in particular - Gotham being a not-so-nice nickname for that part of NY) and in some instances inspired by Chicago. Metropolis is inspired by several cities (such as, but not exclusively NY, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Vancouver, LA...).

While the scales don't match, MLB's Paris is very much a copy/recreation of RL Paris - not just inspired by it. However, MLB may or may not play out in its own universe, so RL comparisons may (or should) not always apply.

As many famous cathetrals, Notre-Dame de Paris' foundation stone has been laid down several centuries ago, these buildings claimed "finished" many times only for (partial) destruction and rebuilds or expansion/modification reasons to occur, arguably resetting the building's "age". (In case of several cathedrals, one could argue them to be even older, as in those cases smaller, lesser- or un-known churches/temples stood on that ground, in certain cases already affiliated with or assimilated into christianity, before the extension to cathedral-status occured. Also, with the decades long building-times one should be aware, that in many occassions those 'unfinished' buildings were already used in their intended purposes, if only in temporary side aisles, arguably - again - setting their "age" long before their official completion dates.) Think of Cher. :P

@Yokozuna-2001: Please, you asked others to be a little more respectful, please, follow your own advice. Nobody said anything disrespectful against the RL Notre-Dame or Paris (Kamion53 specifically called it "Miraculous Paris"). You wrote Notre-dame "was completed 100 years ago, when Christopher Columbus discovered America". Even if you made a very huge typo to begin with, that statement is inherently wrong (we covered Notre-Dame's age and Columbus arrived in the 'New World' in 1492 for the first time... so more like 500 years ago) and perfectly fair to comment on. Talking about "discovering" a land which is already inhabited, may in today's political climate not be the perfect phrasing to begin with, but no matter who made the American continent's existence common knowledge, if you go by the first non-natives stepping foot on the land, archeologists and historians have gathered plenty of proof in the past decades, that it was NOT Columbus. Most well-known as an individual for it, yes. But not the OG-man. Oh, and I do appreciate your avatar-image ;) ...please, let's all be friendly?

@TheBlackDemon1996: As for the Christmas episode... I was under the impression that Adrien joined the class at the beginning of the school year (feel free to correct me, if I'm wrong!), which google tells me starts in France in early September. So (almost) one year later, it's June/July and a winter (incl. Christmas) would have gone by...
