This site is one of my current coups de coeur.  It’s the work of Joel Henriques, an American artist and designer who creates beautiful art and crafts for children and adults. Joel has generously posted free printable templates of his Paper City Paris. His whimsical drawings will inspire your students to illustrate other monuments and to personalize their Ville Lumière.

The “teachable moment” possibilities are endless.
