Yep, bang on.

To be accurate the location of the U Bunker is La Pallice, but it is usually known as La Rochelle, which is nearby.

You can imagine how much Mrs Cropper enjoyed being dragged around a desolate dockyard on her holidays, of course there are no other old buildings of note around, thanks to extensive landscaping by the Eighth Air Force.

Hopefully a hard one

I'll accept the name of the place this fountain is located in rather than its name as I don't think it had a name.

I'd say Fountains of Wayne but I cant see Stacy's Mom Laughing

The picture was taken in 1999, the place could be long gone by now.

Can you give more substantial hint?
