Additional Information
Introduction
Constructed as a temple to glorify Napoleon and his army, Eglise de la Madeleine in Paris functions as a Roman Catholic church while arranging free concerts for the public. Construction began in 1764 but went through several setbacks. After the French Revolution, Napoleon re initiated construction, and the neo-Classical construct opened in 1842. The designers gathered inspiration from antique temples and encompassed the building with 52 Corinthian columns. Churchgoers celebrate mass daily, and free concerts occur twice a month on Sunday afternoons. The concerts incorporate baroque music, chamber music, symphony orchestras and organ recitals.

I really love this church! Although it is not as famous as Notre-Dame, I find it beautiful and love how the steps are covered in flowers during the spring/summer. I often grab a sandwich and eat it on the steps, as you have a view down Rue Royale and onto Place de la Concorde. Entrance is free so in the summer it's a good place to cool off.
This is a gorgeous and somewhat unusual church located in a great neighborhood. There are concerts held here if you have the time!
A few metro stops, and no more than 7 minutes from the Commerce stop... don't miss the Thursday farmer's market and the Camion Qui Fume burger truck. Get there early as they are sold out by noon.
beautiful and magnificent
Beautiful building, Worth seeing. There is great shopping in the area and the metro stops right across the street.
