  • Several places in Paris it's possible to by some really well-done drawings of the famous tourist-sights, but beware - even though the 'salesman' tells you so, they might not be original, but printed in some way. They'll look as they just been drawn with a pencil though!
    I bought this drawing of the Eiffel Tower near Louvre in the summer in 2003 - and as I came back one year later, I saw the exact same drawings different places!

    At Least Do This: These are beautiful and I don't regreat buying it - it's just not original. By the way, if you are going to buy a drawing anyway - always try to get a lower price!
    I know it's possible...if the salesman doesn't agree, just start to walk :)
    Alternative: A certain way to get a truely original drawing from Paris is to go to Place du Tertre at Montmartre and let them draw you - this is a bit more expenisve though, but a good souvenier to bring home!
