Madeleine temple

Located next to Palais Garnier (the Opera), the Madeleine temple, which has a relatively large site in the city of Paris.
Construction began as a place to honor the French army war deads due to the life of Napoleon I, then Napoleon lost his legs, and was completed in 1842 as a church by Louis XVIII.
The characteristic of the Madeleine temple is that it looks like a Greek style temple. 52 pillars that are 30 meters high in the Corinthian style are masterpieces, and even if they are viewed from a distance, it is known as the Madeleine Temple.
Therefore, it can be used as a landmark in sightseeing in Paris where similar buildings line up.
The appearance is too impressive too much to feel like a church, but when you enter inside you feel a sense of church. This Madeleine temple stands for Mary Magdalene's statue related to Mary Magdalene as a patron saint of Mary Magdalene's Mary. Besides that, as many art objects are adorned, it is also very interesting.
On the contrary, if you go outside, the feeling of wonder of the war dead is strong. There is a flower arrangement space on the front, so you can feel a different impression from the church.
As a sightseeing of the Madeleine temple, I want to go near the building, but the traffic volume around here is tremendous, it is a little hard to get close. Because it is a big church that you can see without crossing the road, it might be fun to enjoy the exterior from the surroundings.
