Gérard Brion's gift for creation, his passion for architecture, drawing and songs date back to his early childhood.
It is precisely Michel Drucker's cult TV programme “Champs Elysées” in 1983 which gives him the idea to build a 3 metre high Tour Eiffel.
As early as 14 of age, Gérard makes the crazy challenge to build a miniature Paris centre in his parents' kitchen- garden in order to sing on La Concorde Square, just as in his favourite Saturday night TV programme!
A huge building-site lasting more than 14 working-years and taking 25 000 working-hours! fully courageous and endless achievement all the more extraordinary and paradoxical because Gerard had never been to Paris!
