Lunchtime Photo

This is the altar of the Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, a few minutes walk from our apartment in Paris last year. The building was begun as a church; interrupted by the French Revolution; redesignated as a monument to the Grande Armée by Napoleon; and eventually finished as a church. It was designed in the neoclassical style and looks like the Parthenon, but bigger.

      Parthenon. The photo makes it look a bit like the Pantheon, but the building itself looks like the Parthenon - at least the exterior.
