An American is visiting Paris for the first time. He booked a guided tour of the city, and is rather eager to discover the monuments.
They start the tour, and arrive in front of the Eiffel Tower.
"What is This ?" said the tourist.
"This is the Tour Eiffel, it took two years to build, from 1887 to 1889" said the guide.
"Ha ! In my country, in the USA, we can build this in few weeks !"
They arrive in front of Notre Dame de Paris cathedral.
"What is this ?" shouted the guy
"This is the most famous cathedral in Paris, it took 87 years to build, from 1167 to 1250" answered the guide.
"Ha ! In my country, in the USA, we can build this in mere months ! said the american.
The french guide is starting to feel upset. They arrive nearby the Palace of Versailles.
"What is this ?" screamed the american.
"Don't know." answered the guide. "It wasn't there this morning".
