   Your comment of C sums it up quite well. I selected pictures   
   with various scenes from Paris that were distinct enough from   
   the picture in Buenos Aires. I purposely avoided pictures with   
   more well-known sights, although Notre Dame can be spotted in A.   
   Picture F is from Forum-Les Halles. Well-spotted to find to word   
   "Paris" in the picture - I did not notice this myself!   
      
   Beside the architecture etc, there is also a distinct difference   
   in the vegetation. The pictures are actually all taken in the same   
   period in spring (around 12 April in Paris and around 12 October in   
   Buenos Aires), but the cities are on quite different latitudes
