Lyon

The main Basilique, a truly awesome Sacred place, is currently under renovation process (June 2012) so I had to content with this Crypt temple located right under it. I learned an important lesson that day, never get too excited when planning to visit a major landmark or building as it could be under renovation. Snif..... next time. Didn't had the time to find out the name of this temple nor found it on the net, maybe some kind visitor can help me on this. Thanks in advance.

The location isn't the best, although there's a metro station nearby that takes you to the center of Lyon. When I arrived, the parking garage door was broken, and I had to leave my car on the street for the first night. The staff wasn't very professional.
