Christmas lights, Eglise de la Madeleine
The Madeleine church is located between the Place de la Concorde and the Opéra Garnier, in Haussmann-style Paris. Construction began in 1764 and was completed in 1842. Its appearance, atypical for a religious building, is in the shape of a Greek temple without a cross or bell tower. Napoleon wanted it to be a pantheon to the glory of his armies. Before entering through the two monumental bronze doors, admire the Corinthian columns that surround the building. Inside: sculptures, paintings and the famous mosaic (composed by Charles-Joseph Lameire) in neo-Byzantine style. The church's magnificent great organ is by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. Throughout the year, day and night, the church stages top-quality classical music concerts.
