In 1925, France had recovered from World War I, and Paris was booming, an excellent environment for a con artist. Lustig’s master con came to him one spring day when he was reading a newspaper. An article discussed the problems the city was having maintaining the Eiffel Tower. Even keeping it painted was an expensive chore, and the tower was becoming somewhat run down. Lustig saw the possibilities behind this article and developed a remarkable scheme.

Lustig had a forger produce fake government stationery for him and invited six scrap metal dealers to a confidential meeting at the Hotel de Crillon, one of the most prestigious of the old Paris hotels, to discuss a possible business deal. All six attended the meeting. There, Lustig introduced himself as the deputy director-general of the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs. He explained that they had been selected on the basis of their good reputations as honest businessmen, and then dropped his bombshell.

Lustig told the group that the upkeep on the Eiffel Tower was so outrageous that the city could not maintain it any longer, and wanted to sell it for scrap. Due to the certain public outcry, he went on, the matter was to be kept secret until all the details were thought out. Lustig said that he had been given the responsibility to select the dealer to carry out the task. The idea was not as implausible in 1925 as it would be today. The Eiffel Tower had been built for the 1889 Paris Exposition, and was not intended to be permanent. It was to have been taken down in 1909 and moved somewhere else. It did not fit with the city’s other great monuments like the Gothic cathedrals or the Arc de Triomphe, and at the time, it really was in poor condition.

Lustig took the men to the tower in a rented limousine for an inspection tour. It gave Lustig the opportunity to gauge which of them was the most enthusiastic and gullible. Lustig asked for bids to be submitted the next day, and reminded them that the matter was a state secret. In reality, Lustig already knew he would accept the bid from one dealer, Andre Poisson. Poisson was insecure, feeling he was not in the inner circles of the Parisian business community, and thought that obtaining the Eiffel Tower deal would put him in the big league.

However, Poisson’s wife was suspicious. Who was this official, why was everything so secret, and why was everything being done so quickly? To deal with her suspicion, Lustig arranged another meeting, and then “confessed”. As a government minister, Lustig said, he did not make enough money to pursue the lifestyle he enjoyed, and needed to find ways to supplement his income. This meant that his dealings needed a certain discretion. Poisson understood immediately. He was dealing with another corrupt government official who wanted a bribe. That put Poisson’s mind at rest immediately, since he was familiar with the type and had no problems dealing with such people.

So Lustig not only received the funds for the Eiffel Tower, he also collected a bribe. Lustig and his personal secretary, an American conman named Dan Collins, hastily took a train for Vienna with a suitcase full of cash.[citation needed]

Surprisingly, nothing happened. Poisson was too humiliated to complain to the police. A month later, Lustig returned to Paris, selected six more scrap dealers, and tried to sell the Tower once more. This time, the chosen victim went to the police before Lustig could close the deal, but Lustig and Collins managed to evade arrest.

Mark Brading asked:


Paris Romance and culture:
With a stylish and multicultural population of just over 2 million Paris is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it’s easy to see why.
The left bank of the seine, the majestic river that runs through the center of the city is the perfect place for a romantic walk, especially in springtime; Paris in springtime is legendary for lovers.
Even going out for a cup of coffee is an event in Paris. You would never “slouch around” in a baggy old sweat suit in a city where style and elegance far supersede the bursting need for a shot of caffeine.
For a great cafe experience try going to the artists quarter where even now you are more likely to overhear a conversation on the views and opinions of Jean Paul Sartre, the famous philosopher, or the French impressionists than a discussion on the sport or other such, to the French, mundane subjects.
The haughtiness of French waiters is legendary, you will never be told to “have a nice day” in Paris cafes, but treat it as a part of your holiday experience and it all adds to the fun of the holiday.
A good place to go for a bit of peace and quiet if you still want to remain quite central is the Jardin de Luxembourg (Garden of Luxemburg), which allows a brief respite from the hustle and bustle of the city while not taking you to far away from the main attractions.
The list of romantic and cultural attractions seems almost endless.
The Arc de Triomphe: a huge celebratory arch built by the French emperor Napoleon to celebrate his victories, and nearly finished before he met the British at Waterloo where things didn’t go quite so well.
Musee de Louvre; said to be the biggest museum in the world with 300,000 pieces of art including the “Mona Lisa” and 15 acres of exhibit rooms.
Basilique de Sacre-Coeur or Church of the sacred Heart; a beautiful cathedral set high on a hill wit breathtaking views of Paris and with artists and performers plying their trade at the front of the church.
The Pompidou Center: a temple to the modern in both it’s architecture which is some of the most radical you will see anywhere and it’s massive collection of modern art.
Cathedral de Notre Dame: Yes it is the same one that the hunchback used to swing about in was started in 1163 took nearly 200 years to complete and is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture anywhere in the world.
The Catacombs: a maze of underground tunnels containing bones and skulls from the revolution made into patterns and designs, scary but fascinating.
The Eiffel Tower: originally built as a temporary exhibit for the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889 to celebrate the first hundred years of the French revolution, it is around a thousand feet high and an absolute must to ride to the top.
A visit to Paris is a cultural and culinary feast, and the Parisians themselves are undeserving of their reputation for unfriendliness. I have always found them very helpful and polite.
When asking for help or directions try to use a little French, even from a phrase book. Most Parisians speak English and will probably answer in English but trying the language yourself is a good icebreaker and the effort to use their language is usually appreciated.
Paris is one of the jewels of Europe and a holiday there will not disappoint.
