The games take place in the star-shaped Kalos region,[c] one of many such regions across the fictional Pokémon world. Centered around beauty, the region is heavily inspired by Metropolitan France and, to a lesser extent, Europe as a whole.[17][18] Many locations and landmarks across Kalos have real-world inspirations, including Prism Tower (Eiffel Tower), the Lumiose Art Museum (the Louvre) and the stones outside Geosenge Town (Carnac stones).[17][19] Wild Pokémon inhabit every corner of the Kalos region, many of which are only known to appear in this area.
