Paris - City of Love (LEGO 21064)

About this set

This is LEGO Architecture Paris - City of Love (21064), a 958-piece set rated 5/5 for difficulty. The finished build packs several Paris landmarks into one city skyline: the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre Pyramid and Notre-Dame sit side by side against a deep blue starry backdrop. The palette stays within beige, dark blue, white and grey, with the dark blue night sky throwing the beige and grey silhouettes into relief and white adding separation, so the result reads more like a relief-style skyline than a single large model. The tricky parts are the tower's taper and the joints along the skyline base; build the base and starry backdrop first, then work through the landmarks left to right, and clip the tower in last to avoid repeated alignment. At 958 pieces and 5/5 difficulty, it suits builders who have already done smaller Architecture sets and want a full skyline, or anyone who knows these Paris landmarks and wants them in brick form.
