Madeleine - Opera
Madeleine-Opera,
This district, which encompasses the opera house and its long
avenues to the Palais Royal and place Vendome, is the hub of theatre
and home to contemporary fashion. The landmark is the Opera Garnier,
built by Charles Garnier in 1875, with a famous ceiling decoration
from Chagall. You can visit this building and learn about the
Phantom of the Opera! Behind the Opera, on Blvd Haussman, are the
French department stores : Galeries Lafayette and Printemps. Fashion
shows and many accommodations are available in these stores to
foreign shoppers. The church of La Madeleine was started in 1764,
but not completed until 1842, the church serves some high brow
weddings and is known for its perspective across place de la
Concorde. The chief attractions are the luxury food shops in the
surrounding square, including Fauchon, La maison de la Truffe, and
Hediards. The Place Vendome was designed in 17th century and is
surrounded by very expensive jewelry boutiques such as Cartier. The
famous Ritz Hotel is in front of the Place Vendome. Further to the
east and north is the area of Montmarte with the basilica of Sacre
Coeur, its quiet and winding streets that lead down to some of the
more "colorful" parts of Paris in Pigalle - known for its peep
shows. In the area, Blvd de Clichy and Pigalle, you can walk along
the Rue Lepic famous for its fine food shops. To the north of the
Butte Montmartre is the Marche aux Puces Saint Ouen, Paris’s largest
