I'm tempted to buy 3-4 of the 10307's to part out and while looking around
the images on LEGO I noticed this:

Do the cross beams actually not connect?

No no, I mean the white space at the end of some of the cross beams that appear
to end in mid air.

That's the way they are. You can see it in the instructions manual, either
the picture of the designer at the beginning, or in the steps where this is actually
built (3rd book).

But do not cancel your next trip to Paris because of this, because on the real
one, these are attached.

I have to ask: Which designer designed this model without beams that properly
interconnect?

Because that is a terrible representation of the beams and their connections.

I admit, I'm kind of surprised by this, but I also grew up on Girder and
Panel sets as well as LEGO, so for me things need to be structurally sound.

Seems like a new mold(s) would be in order to make this look superb. Think two
bar holders with female ends that snap together on a simple pin/pivot so that
you can get different angles for the cross connector.

Yes, i agree. Molding a bar 5L or 6L was too much to ask for.
Extending the present 4L one by 1 or 2 studs was much too complicated
and probably seen as unnecessary.
Furthermore, there is an already existing one 6 long #63965 already included
in the set, which might have had fit from the beginning?

However it seems to be good enough for most to spend ~630€ on.

Hadn’t realised this from the pictures I’ve seen to date, this image shows what
I regard as a very poor finish.

Seriously, no connection ?

Not impressed.

Interesting how they did this one.
