This website is written in Frensh, so I may not have all of this exactly correct.  From what I can gather from the website here http://www.festibriques.fr/ the Festi’ briques show was held in France on October 24th and 25th last month.  I always love when people display their creations at these shows because so many of them are unique and different.

As I was glancing at some pictures over on Flickr, I found this Amazing Image of the Eiffel Tower that some participants created for the show that is over 5 meters tall.  These photos were all uploaded by flickr user Festi’ briques.  It is amazing just how big that this creation is.

According to this website here

http://asso.festibriques.fr/2015/05/en-direct-festibriques-chatenoy/

this sculpture of the Eiffel Tower is “This creation is the work of two members of FestiBriques Burgundy. By itself, it represents work weeks, more than € 10 000 and a height of over 5 meters. It is carried out in entirety in Lego without reinforcement “non Lego”. The book below is also made ​​entirely of brick.”

This appears to be another Certified Professional Building set similar to the Lego Hilton Paris Opera House we saw a few weeks ago.  I am not sure how to pick this one up yet, but it appears to be limited to 500 sets like the last one.  I wonder how many more of these exist.   Someone is selling these over here on eBay.  This one is a little more reasonable that the last time with the Paris Hilton Opera House.

I believe that it is being put out by the same people that are building this gigantic 300K piece Lego Model of the Durham Cathedral.  You can see this here.

I found this pretty interesting.  It not new, but it contains 300K bricks and it is about 12 feet long.  Pretty impressive.

Here are a few images.  You can see more here.  They also have a description of the project as well.  You can also see more on their twitter page.
