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!

It is a Roman Catholic church in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The Church was designed as a temple for the Napoleon's army, it is built in a neoclassical style and was inspired by the famous Maison Carré in the city of Nîmes, one of the best preserved Roman temples in the world. It has 52 Corinthian columns, each 20 meters high, 108 meters long and 43 meters wide.

In the basement of the church (entrance from the flower market side) is the Foyer de la Madeleine or Hall of the Madeleine which houses a restaurant, which is open Monday to Friday 11:30am. to 2:00 p.m. With the annual subscription of 5 euros for unique meals and service by volunteers under the vaulted ceilings, the dish costs only 8.50 euros with a full menu. After the meal, everyone is free to enjoy their coffee across the hall in the cheapest coffee shop in Paris, with an espresso costing just 80 cents.
