I tried to find a map to build a city looking like Paris. Not easy at all.
This one was not perfect but at least there was the possibility of Notre-dame on an island.
The main idea was to make these bridges with houses where people could cross both rivers without even seeing any water.
A royal castle on the left, sort of. Something looking like 'la bastille' on the north, too close from Notre-dame but this is a very compact version of the city.
I was amazed that we can build DS Bridge houses on CC wall bridges:
The 'Bastille' drawbridge, cut in 2 parts (in a strange way maybe) because the drawbrige of the RK castle is so long :)

Looks wonderful. Love the small, tight streets.
Great find on combining the bridge houses with the wall pieces, I'll try that too!:)
That Notre-Dame model still is stunning, and perfect for the setting.

Nice work flow with the river You've done Paris justice! ;D
Question about The 'Bastille' drawbridge. The brown strip crossings on the other side of Bastille drawbridge, is that a road texture?

not a road texture because the drawbridge is higher than the road level:
there're not many ghost items at this level
so that's a combination of garden beds dirt and quay wall trims:
using DS dock ghost pieces would have been simplier i guess.
not sure why i didn't think of them when i did this.
