This tiny, adorable papercraft Paris playset is a free download. Good fun for a weekend's pretend voyage -- spice up your romantic life by bringing your loved one a Continental breakfast in bed with a miniature Paris on the tray, and deliver it wearing a beret and nothing else. Or use 'em to decorate the kids' French toast.*

It's a positive externality of Paper City Paris, an ambitious larger project from Made By Joel.

* Whatever floats your boat. To paraphrase Frank Zappa, "Hey, it's the 21st century, anything you can do to have a good time let's get on with, as long as it doesn't cause a murder."

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    When I saw that my first reaction was either a bowling ball or large rubber monsters.

    But then again monsters never attack Paris.

    Well, thanks for that image, Cory.

    Sorry for  all who printed it as it is but you’ll need to dump some of your Continental breakfast. The sign for the French bakery has a typo. It’s not a “Patisserie” but a “Pâtisserie”  :o)
