The 'Saint-Michel' church is one of the main landmarks of Bordeaux.The church and its bell tower were built ate the end of the XV century.Its steeple,with 114 meters,is the second tallest in France.The Tower was twice struck by lightning,and at the end of the XVII century a hurricane seriously damaged its structure.It was not until 1865 that it was repaired.Since then is one of the most astonishing views of Bordeaux.

I don't like how the tower is separated of the church, still gets a 8,5 from me.

Surreal almost alien. I love it. Especially the picture below. Now if they could model a wider and higher skyscraper after this it would be awesome.

Not bad, although it provides for some gloomy atmosphere. (7.5/10)
