Don't let your eyes fool you—this isn't a post-apocalyptic Paris. It's an exact replica of the French city constructed in China's Tianducheng district. The strange project, which first started in 2007, was considered a massive failure, since very few people wanted to live there. To this day, the streets and buildings remain mostly empty.
