From the same Jour J scenario of an American Napoleon:
Spanish army executing American prisoners at San Antonio.
Spanish army executing American prisoners at San Antonio.
Volume 14 of Jour J has a fascist French state rise from the ashes of the First World War and start the next European war of aggression in the late 1930s instead of Germany
Volume 1 of Jour J features a scenario where the Soviets win the race to the Moon
Volume 2 of "Jour J" has a scenario where the Red Army advances all the way to the right bank of the Seine before VE Day.
Post-war France is thus split between two successor states, one communist and the other capitalist.
Paris is evenly split between communist and capitalist, with much of the city still in ruins in 1951 when the story takes place.
Notably the Eiffel Tower is destroyed and the Basilique de Sacre-Coeur in Montmartre is in ruins.
The Arc de Triomphe seems to have been rebuilt though.

I'm not sure that part of Paris can support high rises (maybe the ones furthest from the broken tower could stand). I remember watching something about the history of the city and how there were limestone quarries or something underneath the city. It would make sense. Geology would determine where heavy buildings could be built. Just look at Manhattan's skyline.

Is the same one show facist france have more balls and beat the nazis in 1936?
Yes, l'Armee de l'Air bomb Ruhr and fight against RAF in that story
Paris underground is riddled with sewers and catacombs dating back to pre-Revolution times, the underground is like a swiss cheese, so you can't build anything too heavy on it. But I am thinking that maybe Paris was so thoroughly destroyed by the fighting during the war that they filled in all the old sewers and catacombs with concrete and rubble and that made it safe to sink deep foundations for skyscrapers.
IOTL of course, all the sky scrapers is way out in the banlieues by La Defense.
Another Jour J scenario, I forget which volume. There is no miracle on the Marne, and the Schlieffen Plan is a success, with Germans taking Paris before the end of 1914.
The British evacuate their troops from the continent, and the French capitulate.
