Eiffel Tower
Open table
Familiar landmarks sit beside the quieter texture of rooftops, bridges, riverbanks and streets. A famous silhouette may catch your eye first, but the character of Paris often appears in the smaller details around it. That balance makes these scenes approachable at a low piece count and absorbing on a larger board.
Complete the strongest tower, bridge or roofline before sorting the muted buildings beneath it. Chimneys, balconies and window rows help distinguish sections that share the same stone or slate tones. Water carries softer, broken versions of the architecture above and is best kept in its own group.
Use the landmark as a map rather than treating it as the whole picture. Once it is in place, the remaining sky, city and river fall into clearer areas around it.
