The Incredible Sculpture of Paris

Paris is undoubtedly one of the world's best loved cities. It is a city that the majority of people fall head over heels in love with, but, this one artist takes his amour for the beautiful city a step further. Artist Gerard Brion loved the city so much, visiting it was not enough. So, he decided to create a miniature version of the French capital. The monument is so life-like, it'll almost have you fooled.
 
 
Gerard Brion spent 15 years creating this masterpiece, clocking in more than 20,000 hours.

He used recycled materials including soup cans, baby food jars and other bits of waste that would otherwise be thrown in the bin.
