    I'm ashamed I didn't post this first. Very cool and it looks to be near the Versailles stake center. That would be smack dab in my old stomping grounds.

    I was there in 1998 when president hinckley announced he wanted to build a temple in Paris. It sounds like it's been a long, hard road and it's not over yet. Hopefully they get the permits and get it built. I may need to make another trip over there just to see it

      I do not find that temple to be visually appealing at all. It looks like that Texas polygamist temple.

          IMO it looks like a blend of San Diego, Salt Lake and old school Nauvoo. I think it looks fine. Plus you can see it while boating. That's a plus IMO.

              The mountains look wasatch-ish. I'm going to guess Brigham City.

                  Blah. I agree wuap. Looks like it should be a backdrop for a Disney Princess movie.

                    I like that B City temple. Looks cool.

                    Back on the Paris, France temple; this is be the third location The Church has gotten serious about. Hopefully this one will stick.

                    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                      Haven't you heard? Disney stole its design ideas from the church. We were there first.

                        I think people are being thrown off by the all white color. It makes it look unfinished, like unpainted drywall in a home.

                        The temple does look like a SLC clone with some SD spires mixed in.
