Correct, Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe (St. Michael of the Needle) is a chapel in Aiguilhe, near Le Puy-en-Velay, France

.... how did you know that?!

I think I saw it on the Tour De France

Correct! Inside the front door of the Casino de Monte-Carlo

Does this mean that's my go now?

Lets see if this works not quite so exotic as Monte though.

I asked Google for a 'clock near Saudi that says 5 minutes past 7'..

....and certainly, the Makkah Royal Clock Tower appears, but only to find this version at 10 minutes past 6

Lets try this one as it is a bit more boating related, although it might be too easy.

Oberalp pass?

Worlds highest lighthouse I think. If you had cropped it tighter I might have said Rotterdam (apart from the hills!).

Correct, at the top of the OberAlppass in Switzerland, 2046metres. It's there as this is the source of the Rhine. Photo taken in June this year when on a European tour.

The buildings, the landscape and the road signs all feel like southern Norway but that is as far as I get.
