Today we'll take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO Architecture set. 21064 Paris – City of Love, a box of 958 pieces currently available for pre-order on the official online store at a public price of €79,99 and which will be available on January 1, 2026.

I'm not sure this product deserved to be associated with the LEGO Architecture range; it looks more like a postcard in relief for a tourist in a hurry to get home after discovering that Paris is not the city of love, but who still wants to save appearances with everyone to whom he will tell his journey and his various misadventures.

This set is indeed a hybrid cross between the skylines already seen in the range and the brick postcards marketed in recent years, not enough to make a truly accomplished and detailed model.

It's worth noting that LEGO doesn't even bother to specify that the model depicts Paris; everyone knows by now that the Louvre is in Paris. I don't understand the point of mentioning it, either. City of love on Tile pad-printed on the front, the city of Paris has not been summarized by this somewhat pompous statement for a long time, except in Netflix series.

In terms of assembly, there are a few sequences inspired by traditional LEGO Architecture sets, with a plethora of 1x1 pieces used to represent the architectural details of the monuments depicted. Notre-Dame is well done, as is the Arc de Triomphe; the Louvre is vaguely suggested with its rather lazy pyramid, and the Eiffel Tower doesn't really take advantage of the scale, resulting in a design that, in my opinion, is both a bit too crude and the color scheme is out of place.

There's no vegetation in this box; everyone knows there isn't any left in Paris, but I wonder what the black pieces visible on either side of the central walkway represent. Dying trees? Streetlights?

The perspective effect is quite well done, with a good use of color. I'm less convinced by the starry sky in the background, with gaps between the rooms that allow the building's interior to show through. The choice of color could also be debated. Tan (beige) for the monuments in the foreground, I understand the artistic choice of the project with a gradient that goes towards dark but this color does not match any of the proposed constructions.

LEGO used to offer us the Eiffel Tower in grey in the LEGO Architecture sets. 21044 Paris Skyline, 854011 Eiffel Tower Magnet or, 10307 Eiffel TowerIt's not the right color either, but it worked a little better than the light beige shown here.

The whole thing is mounted on a stand meant to sit on the dresser or hang on the wall; it's rather crude, with a spice rack-like effect reminiscent of a home improvement store, and the variations in shade between the white pieces—a technical feat at this level of incompetence—are quite noticeable. I think the edges of the stand are excessive; leaving the sides of the display visible would have been more original, in my opinion.

This set is clearly a product aimed at tourists, and there's not much here that lives up to the generally high standards of the LEGO Architecture range. LEGO probably frowns upon the proliferation of plastic Eiffel Tower vendors on the monument's forecourt and is therefore offering its response in an attempt to nibble away at the market share of these quaint street vendors. I can't see any other explanation.

There is therefore no valid reason to spend €80 on this dystopian vision of Paris which would be more at home in the LEGO ART range than in the LEGO Architecture universe, it will quickly end up in clearance for less than €50 almost everywhere except in Parisian souvenir shops.

In 2026, the LEGO Architecture range takes a slightly different turn from what LEGO had accustomed us to so far with the set 21064 Paris – City of Love.

This 958-piece set, available from January 1st, 2026 at a retail price of €79,99 on the official online store, offers the opportunity to assemble what appears to be a Crossovers between classic products of the type skyline already seen in this range and the postcard concept also already seen in the LEGO catalogue.

Paris will be featured in this first release, with a few iconic monuments of the French capital simply grouped together without any attempt at realistic placement: the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre. All of this is displayed in a stand bearing the optimistic tagline "City of Love." The item can be hung on the wall or displayed on a piece of furniture.

The set is now available for pre-order on the official online store:

LEGO today unveiled a new addition to the Architecture range expected on August 1, 2025, the set 21063 Neuschwanstein Castle with its 3455 pieces and its retail price set at €269,99. In the box, you'll find everything you need to assemble a model of the famous German castle built between 1869 and 1886 on the orders of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

For those more into pop culture than pure architecture, this castle located in Bavaria, which served during World War II as a repository for works of art stolen by the Nazis in France, inspired the castle of the first Disneyland park in California and is also found on the Walt Disney Studios logo.

The LEGO interpretation of the location can be displayed in a summer or autumn version thanks to the provided vegetation. The construction measures 46 cm long and 31 cm high.

LEGO officially unveils the Architecture range set today 21062 Trevi Fountain, a box of 1880 pieces which will be available at the public price of €159,99 from March 1, 2025. Already revealed via an official catalog from the manufacturer a few days ago, this set will take over from the set 21020 Trevi Fountain marketed in the same range between 2014 and 2016.

The 2025 version of the famous fountain will be more imposing than the previous interpretation, with minifigs replacing the microfigs used in 2014 and a level of detail that is generally more satisfactory and less "symbolic" than on the model from 10 years ago.

The set is already available for pre-order via the official online store:
