What to do and see in Madeleine, Ile-de-France: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

July 31, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore

One of Paris's most elegant shopping strips.

Reviewed By fashiondiva69 - Clarksburg, United States

When I did my research on Paris before my first trip in May 2019, knew I wanted to shop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore. This is the location where all the luxury fashion brands have a store in the heart of Paris. I saved all of my shopping to do at Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore because I wanted something that screamed Paris. There is every luxury brand from La Perla to my favorite, ALEXANDER MCQUEEN. A must when shopping in Paris but don't forget your passport for your VAT discounts.

La Madeleine

A beautiful church built by Napoleon in honor of his troops.

Reviewed By adalbert3 - Newport Beach, United States

Sitting up high with its 52 Corinthian columns and Greek Temple appearance, it is easy to understand that initially it was planned to be a memorial to Napoleon's Grand Army. When Napoleon fell, it became a Catholic church. It may be that because the exterior is so imposing that when you walk inside, the combination of dim light and the beautiful statue of Mary Magdalene behind the Main Altar create a sense of calm and comfort. Things not to miss---the Pediment above the entrance showing the Last Judgment, the Baptism of Christ sculpture by Francois Rude, the Statue of Mary Magdalene by Charles Marochetti (up close), the History of Christianity by Jules-Claude Ziegler in the Nave of La Madeleine (the frescoe is showing the main figures of the Christian religion & as a testament to the time, it included Napoleon right in the center), the bronze doors following the theme of the ten commandments and the statues of the various saints on the Colonnade. This church has a funny way of making you want to come back---it does not have the high level of ornamentation that you find in some cathedrals (however, it does have some beautiful sculptures) but it definitely has it's own personality. Check out my photos for more details.
