Yes, as are "Le baiser de l'Enfant-Jésus" (XVI.), "Je dors, mais mon coeur veille" (XIX.), and the last parts from both "Par lui tout a été fait" ("La création chante le thème de Dieu", VI.) and "Regard de l'Eglise d'amour" (Glorification du thème de Dieu", XX. and last).<br>
<br>
Another case in Messiaen is "Les Mages" (VIII. from _La Nativité du Seigneur_), but most striking to me is the last movement from _Turangalîla-Symphonie_ (a section of "Développement de l'amour" and the Ondes Martenot and strings of the whole "Jardin du sommeil d'amour" also have the same key signature).<br>
<br>
To remain in France: "Les parfums de la nuit" from _Ibéria_, "...La terrasse des audiences du clair de lune" from _Préludes_ II., and "Poissons d'or" from _Images_ II. by Debussy, and "Laideronnette, impératrice des pagodes" from _Ma mère l'Oye_ by Ravel. Among various non-full movements, Debussy and Ravel have the middle sections of the last Etude ("Pour les accords") and _Menuet antique_ (trio?) respectively.<br>
