   There is a lot of dormant volcanoes in that area of France. I’m sure that’s where they retrieved the stone for this church!

   Smart, the townspeople can’t demand it to be power washed because it’s impossible to tell if it’s clean or dirty.

   I get why they built it because it’s a cool idea but I’m not sure it fits the local area… and it kind of looks a bit /r/evilbuildings

    I was there in January en route to snowboarding in the Alps – it’s a really great city.

    Here’s the biggest volcano (Puy de Dôme) in the area that helps explain the black stone and gives the department its name: https://i.imgur.com/SF76MSf.jpg
