A copy of the famous landmark in the French capital, ten times smaller than the original one, was held on Saturday in the Champs de Mars, adjacent to the Eiffel Tower in Paris , but this step was not well received by some visitors and residents.

"The idea of building the Eiffel Tower on a scale of 1/10" came to him "seven years ago," the creator of the version called "Evella", Philippe Mendron, told AFP.

The copy is 33 meters long and weighs 32 tons. Its parts were assembled in the Vendet region, about 400 km from Paris.

And the Capital Municipality published on Twitter a picture showing the small and large towers, which I attached to a comment inspired by the spirit of the date of April 1, the day of jokes and pranks, saying, "Rest assured, you see clearly."

The newspaper "Le Parisien" indicated that the copy is scheduled to remain on the site until April 10.

The reactions of the visitors to the place varied, as the retired Parisian, Dominique Dimitrov, considered that the idea was "very cute" and that it allowed visiting "two Eiffel Towers at one price," while the 35-year-old tourist, Frederic Loubouti, noted that the small tower was "an exact copy of his older brother."

On social networks, the "Friends of the Champs-de-Mars" group criticized the initiative, saying in a tweet that "most of the city's residents simply want to take a walk in the beautiful gardens" surrounding the tower.

And on the same social network, the official Eiffel Tower account, Saturday, reported a “lie” on the occasion of April 1, stating that “the highest slide in the world will be installed from July 1! At the top” of the tower, which was completed 134 years ago, with a video clip. Computer generated explaining the alleged project.

But it was clear from a sign with fish painted on it (a symbol of pranks day), that it was nothing more than a joke.
