(Customer reviews and product information)
Built in the late 19th century by the engineer Gustave Eiffel for the World exhibition held in Paris, the Eiffel Tower was first met with ridicule and heavy criticism by its detractors when it was first inaugurated due to its awkward and irregular.
It has however proven its critics wrong by becoming one of the most cherished icons in French history, a nationalistic symbol associated with France’s rich historical and cultural heritage and in recent times one of the most visited tourist landmarks in the entire world.
If you have been enchanted during your visit to the Eiffel Tower before, this is your chance to capture the romance and haute-couture of Paris right in your living room.
The real Eiffel Tower stands at 324m but this Puzz 3D Eiffel Tower replica has been scaled to stand at just 26inches with a square base of 9.88inches in lengths.

(Customer reviews and product information)
Notre Dame, which in English translates into “Our Lady”, is one of the finest examples of French Gothic architectural left standing in the world. Construction was first commissioned in 1160 by Bishop Maurice de Sully who wanted the new cathedral to be an outstanding structural architecture fit for the “kings of Europe”.
It was finished in 1345, complete with its signature great bells and distinctive flying buttress used as exterior supports. Notre Dame has been referenced in the French writer Victor Hugo’s famous novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame which has in recent times been made into a Disney animated film.
If you are an admirer of French culture and history, this Puzz 3D Notre Dame is surely for you. The product contains 366 pieces and measures 9 3/8″ x 6 7/8″ x 15 5/8″.
