ÉGLISE DE LA MADELEINE
This church overlooking the Faubourg Saint-Honoré and the main boulevards is rich in works, including a fresco by Jules Ziegler.
Overlooking the Faubourg Saint-Honoré and the Grands Boulevards, the church's antique-style facade is in perfect symmetry with the Palais Bourbon, which faces it across the Seine via Rue Royale and Place de la Concorde. Begun in 1763, its construction saw a succession of architects until its inauguration in 1842. The church is rich in works of art, including a fresco by Jules Ziegler adorning the choir and an organ by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. Finally, note that its bronze doors are larger than those of St. Peter's in Rome!
