Set here

Video games and Animated films that take place here. None of them is filmed anywhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Paris, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.

And 40 more, per Wikipedia:

From published sources

Productions a newspaper, a film office, a broadcaster or the production itself says were filmed at Paris, where no wiki records it. Each sentence below was found on its page and read before it was added, and its publisher is linked beside it.

Drawn from this place

Productions whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Paris as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
