Lumiose City is based on {{wp|Paris}}, the capital and largest city of {{wp|France}}.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pG-q-WIYTs Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Honedge Revealed!] (YouTube)</ref> Its radial layout with Centrico Plaza in the center is similar to the real-life {{wp|Place Charles de Gaulle}}, in which the {{wp|Arc de Triomphe}} stands in its center. However, the building in Centrico Plaza, [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], is based on the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} instead. | |||
The architecture style of Lumiose City is very similar to its real counterpart; Paris itself consists mostly of buildings dating back up to several centuries and the outskirts (also called the Parisian suburbs) were recently urbanized, dating back to the 1960s. Also, like Paris, Lumiose City has roads connecting to all parts of Kalos. The only difference is that Paris' connections to all parts of France are used by {{wp|List of railway stations in Paris|railroads}}. | |||
