The Madeleine Church is located on the Place de la Madeleine in the 8th district of Paris, between Place de la Concorde and Saint Lazare Sation area. It constitutes a perfect illustration of the neoclassical architectural style. Its construction has lasted for 85 years because of political trouble in France in the late XVIIIth century, and early XIXthe century. The political changes at that time changed several times its destination and the plans. Designed by Napoleon the 1st like a temple built to the glory of his Great Army in 1806, the building was nearly turned into the first rail station of Paris in 1837, before becoming a church in 1845.
