French contemporary artist JR's latest installation

plays with the eye and gives an impression of cliffs below the Eiffel Tower

(SOUNDBITE) (French) VISITOR, LISA DAKDAKI, SAYING:

"Also, I think it’s come on a perfect day, because with the reopening of outdoor dining, it gives the impression that Paris is suddenly coming back to life. I think it's nice for someone to take this type of initiative with the Eiffel Tower, which is a symbol of the city."

(SOUNDBITE) (English) TOURIST, LARA WATSON, SAYING:

"I think it's really cool because it's really realistic, and I like that it combines with the Eiffel Tower, so the piece of art becomes a piece of art because of the Eiffel Tower already behind it. I like it."
