We'll always have Paris

In the Lego Death Star comments, Through The Lens points to this model of Paris, built by one man.
I am amazed, I wouldn't even have the patience to build the smallest building in it.


(Behold the Tricolore... it's remarkable so nationalistic many French are.)

Monsieur, you build a life-size Lego Little Mermaid, or one at any scale bigger than a standard issue fish-tailed character from a Harry Potter 4 box set, and then you may give lessons in nationalisticism.
Your irony makes me so angry, I think I am going to swear. Ratatouille! Camembert! Château-Laffite! Escargot aux champignons! Omelette du fromage! Chocolat fondu! Bêtises de Cambrai! Crème de la crème! Bleu Auvergnat! Cuisses de grenouilles! Bœuf bourguignon! Escalope flambée! Moules marinières! Sauce béchamel! Raclette savoyarde! Crêpes sautées! Anisette! Apportez-moi l'addition!
Aah, after zees leetle vente, I feel match bettair!
Au fait, ce n'est pas moi sur la photo. You'll notice that this gentleman, although admittedly handsome, cannot possibly hope to compete with my natural charming je ne sais quoi.
Might be my refined talk, might be my legendary modesty, who knows?

I can confirm that beyond Pascal's overwhelming modesty, his je ne sais quoi simply... I don't know.
