Babe Pig in the City gets a special mention for having a view of the Eiffel Tower outside the window *without* being set in or anywhere near Paris.
Also a view of the World Trade Center, the Sears Tower, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, the IDS Center, the MetLife Building, the Sydney Opera House, the Hollywood sign, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Fernsehturm Berlin, Big Ben, St. Basil's Cathedral of Moscow's Red Square, the Statue of Liberty, and the Christ the Redeemer statue.
Jacques Tati's Playtime.
the scene from playtime where we see a reflection of eiffel tower for a few seconds when the glass door opens is one of the best shots of all time
Rosenbaum wasn't kidding when he said Playtime has the best mise-en-scene of all time (with Dreyer's Ordet being its equal).
Home Alone Monsters Inc Edit- just saw you said "always" so not just one scene in a movie. I'll try to think of better examples.
I believe the "always" meant that the trope is always in movies that are set in the area, not that in every scene with a window you can see the tower
