Amazing detail. And I could tell what everything was without the description. I can even see an awning at the top.

Thanks, Arduinna. I saw a painting somewhere that was similar to this, I don't remember where, but I do remember the awning and thought that would look nice in a puzzle. I redesigned the railing several times, and the buildings were very difficult. I spent a lot of time on this, getting it just the way I wanted.

Very nice, as always. Ditto #1.

Fantastic puzzle!

I really liked the ironwork on the railing. Nice puzzle!

Thank you, Adam and Petra.

Did you know... (here comes the trivia)... that the 19th century is sometimes known as the Century of the Top Hat. In France, the dandies wore such outlandish top hats that they ran out of room for them in the cloakrooms. Then the collapsible top hat was invented.

Thanks, Meg. I designed it myself! lol

I really would like to have a collapsible top hat, because - get this - I am a magician! Yes, that's right. I do magic tricks along with my presentations. I figured that since my subject matter is so serious, it would be nice to lighten it up with a little fun.

Great puzzle! Thanks Teresa. I have never been to Paris, but I can see it in the puzzle.

Awesome puzzle and picture! Thanks!

Great puzzle! Is that man related in any way to the Simpsons?

Great puzzle. Thanks

Thanks, everyone.

Theresa, what do you do for "presentations?"
By the way, like everyone else said, great puzzle!

Thanks, Joe. To make my presentations magical, I turn lumps of coal into sparkling "diamonds." I make objects appear and disappear from Pandora's Box, I turn ice water into hot water, and the best trick of all is when I predict what choices a volunteer will make, proving there is no such thing as free will. LOL Of course, each trick makes a point that is part of the learning objectives.

The real presentation is about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, not a fun subject. http://fasstar.com

Beautiful puzzle! I am still one-handed with my right arm in a cast (3 more weeks) but this one was well worth the extra time that one-armed PBN requires.

Teresa, Thanks...this is why I frequent this site. I can count on an interesting puzzle, not way too easy with a nice visual at the end.

...I also appreciate your occasional twists.

Thanks, Wendy and JoDeen. Poor Wendy, that must be awful. What kind of puzzles are best for you right now? I'l make some just for you.

Wow, thank you, Teresa! Sticking to 30 x 30 is easiest on the arm. But then, they're usually not as nice as the bigger ones. Thank you for all the wonderful ones you do.

very nice. Thank you!

very nice and I can tell you spent time creating this. lots of details. I'd love to see your magic tricks. :)

Thanks, Doreen and Telly. Wendy, I have a few ideas for small ones, coming soon.

beautiful. i love it. fun to solve and incredible image.

Preciosa imagen y muy real. Conozco bien Paris, he paseado mucho por esa ciudad, y el puzzle recoge muy bien su espíritu. El pasado año estuve allí en verano, y me di un largo paseo de noche hasta la torre Eiffel.

Gracias por el puzzle, Teresa.

Ah, un paseo por París de noche. Que agradable. Gracias, Julio.

Gracias a tí por los estupendos puzzles que nos ofreces.

Muchas gracias, Julio.
