Place de la Madeleine, 14, Rue de Surčne Paris 8 Tel: 01 44 51 69 00 Metro: Madeleine Free to visit Located in an upscale neighbourhood, near Place de la Concorde and Rue St. Honore, the construction of La Madeleine began in 1764 by the order of Louis XV. Due to dispute over its design, the construction was halted a few times over the years. In 1806, Napoleon decided to model this incomplete structure after a Greek Temple, honouring his Grand Army. Finally the construction was complete under the reign or Louis XVIII who finished it as a classical temple as it stands today. La Madeleine became a church in 1814 dedicated to Sainte Mary Magdalene, hence the name La Madeleine. 52 columns measuring 23 meter high surround this lovely monument. Inside you can find beautiful sculptures as well. Around Place de la Madeleine, indulge yourself with treats at Fauchon, an upscale market. Hours of Operation: Open everyday from 8:30 am-6 pm
