Across the Interstate from our present location here on the LTVA,is a small attraction that many visitors to the area miss.For inside this pyramid stands a plaque which is the official point of the centre of the earth,recognized by the "Institute Geographique National of France."
This Town known as "Felicity California" was built by Jacques-Andre Istel and his wife after buying up most of the land between the interstate and the Chocolate Mountains in the distance.The town has a population of 2 and Jacques is the mayor.
He built the church on the hill after first creating a hill, by having many truckloads of soil brought in.
The church is modeled after the one on Mont St Michel in Brittany France.
As an added attraction,here is a piece of the original metal spiral staircase salvaged from the Eiffel tower.
A sculpture of God's arm from Michaelangelo's "Dawn of Creation" painting on the Sistine Chapel,acts as a sundial.
