Day 1 of my summer tour, where's this monument historique?

Neither, though the architectural style is described as neo-Flemish

Somewhere a little more eastern European?

If it's Flemish but not Belgium it must be north-eastern France.

Je pense que c'est Lille Plan Bleu.

Bonne réponse

The building is the Grands Moulins de Paris, a former flour mill on the banks of the Canal de la Deûle in Marquette-lez-Lille, in the northern fringes of Lille. The canal-side path proved a good traffic-free route from the Belgian border at Deûlémont right into the city centre, and the Plan Bleu is a proposed redevelopment along the various waterways of Lille.

Looks white enough to be a modern Mormon tabernacle.

Gets my vote too.
I really ought to be more certain; I've been there within the last fortnight!

mike · « **Reply #6321 on:** 23 October, 2015, 07:58:08 am »

not Palma, no.

I just checked the map and it's definitely south of there.

Barcelona? Possibly near the Olympic venue.

JStone · « **Reply #6323 on:** 23 October, 2015, 09:30:38 am »

I guess the clue's in the colour - Casablanca?

Steph · « **Reply #6324 on:** 23 October, 2015, 09:54:59 am »

Just googled it. Yup.
