    The artwork, by an artist who uses the pseudonym JR, involved laying an image of a ravine, and the pillars that form the base of the Eiffel Tower, onto the floor of an esplanade that overlooks the tower. Image Credit: REUTERS

    "I think it's really cool because it's really realistic," said one visitor, Lara Watson. "I like that it combines with the Eiffel Tower, so the piece of art becomes a piece of art because of the Eiffel Tower already behind it." Image Credit: REUTERS

    Other work by the same artist includes an installation at the US-Mexico border wall that appears to show a giant baby peering over the wall, and an optical illusion that made it appear a chasm had opened up in the courtyard of the Louvre museum in Paris. Image Credit: AFP
