Paris: La Madeleine

2014-la-madeleine-church-paris-france-01

Paris is one of those places where you could randomly toss a stone and hit a sculpture. The city has certainly been blessed with beautiful sculptures with amazing details. I hadn’t actually planned on seeing the Madeleine church, but after spotting it from afar it was impossible not to get a closer look! It looks like the Parthenon, but it’s actually taller than the actual Parthenon.

It’s a shame we humans don’t have wings like angels. I for one would love to fly up to take a closer look at the series of domes in the ceiling. It was a peculiar feeling to see this hybrid church that is built in the form of a “pagan” temple used for Christian service. I don’t think I’ve quite figured it out yet.

Your turn ♥ What’s the coolest building you’ve discovered while wandering around?
