Intérieur de l’église de la Madeleine à Paris. Vue sur le chœur, éclairé par une lumière douce et chaude. J’ai voulu capturer l’atmosphère paisible du lieu, entre architecture néoclassique et recueillement.
Au cœur de la Madeleine, la lumière se fait douce, presque dorée.
Elle glisse le long des colonnes, se pose sur l’autel, écoute le silence.
Ici, la pierre semble respirer.
Un lieu de calme, de musique intérieure, de gestes anciens.
J’ai simplement essayé de ne pas déranger la paix.

Vue intérieure de l’église de la Madeleine à Paris, avec un focus sur le chœur et l’autel. Ce bâtiment religieux de style néoclassique est l’un des monuments emblématiques du 8e arrondissement. La lumière intérieure chaude met en valeur les colonnes, les voûtes et les détails architecturaux, créant une atmosphère calme et spirituelle.
La Madeleine est connue pour son orgue, ses concerts, et son architecture inspirée des temples antiques.
Photographie réalisée à l’intérieur, en lumière disponible.
Voici un panorama complet sur l’église de la Madeleine à Paris : son histoire, son architecture, comment la visiter, et ce à quoi faire attention.
Localisation & contexte
Elle se situe place de la Madeleine, dans le 8ᵉ arrondissement de Paris.
Le quartier est central : non loin de la Place de la Concorde, de l’Opéra Garnier, du boulevard Haussmannien.
L’édifice occupe un emplacement majeur dans l’urbanisme parisien du XVIIIᵉ-XIXᵉ siècle, et a donné son nom au quartier de la Madeleine.
Histoire remarquables
Le site est consacré assez tôt à sainte Marie-Madeleine.
Le projet initial de construction de la nouvelle église remonte à 1763-64 sous le roi Louis XV : une première pierre est posée.
L’architecte initial était Pierre Contant d’Ivry, puis après sa mort en 1777, son élève Guillaume‑Martin Couture reprit mais modifia beaucoup le plan.
Avec la Révolution française, les travaux sont interrompus. Le bâtiment change plusieurs fois de destination : temple, gare, etc.
Sous l’Empereur Napoléon I, le bâtiment est converti en « temple à la gloire de l’armée ».
Finalement, l’église est consacrée en tant que paroisse catholique en 1842 (ou environs) sous la restauration.
Architecture & style
Le style est néoclassique, fortement inspiré de l’architecture gréco-romaine.
Caractéristiques remarquables :
Elle est entourée de 52 colonnes corinthiennes d’environ 20 m de haut.
Le plan extérieur la fait ressembler à un temple antique plutôt qu’à une église traditionnelle (pas de clocher bien visible, etc.).
À l’intérieur, l’éclairage, les nefs, les coupoles, et la décoration en marbre polychrome sont pensés pour un effet monumental.
Le fronton sculpté représente Le Jugement dernier.
À voir & visiter
La façade avec sa colonnade : incontournable pour son impact visuel.
L’intérieur : la nef unique, les coupoles, les marbres.
Le grand orgue : construit par Aristide Cavaillé‑Coll en 1846, il est l’un des organes majeurs de Paris.
Il s’y tient aussi des concerts réguliers, la qualité acoustique étant excellente.
Conseils pratiques pour la visite
Adresse : Place de la Madeleine, 75008 Paris.
Accessible en métro (station Madeleine) ou via bus/tram selon votre point de départ.
Tenue respectueuse conseillée si vous entrez pour la partie liturgique.
Même si l’entrée est souvent libre, vérifiez les horaires et s’il y a des messes ou des concerts qui peuvent imposer une interruption.
Prenez un moment pour monter les marches jusqu’au portique : la vue sur les colonnes et sur l’axe de la rue Royale vaut le détour.
Si vous aimez l’architecture ou la photographie, y aller tôt le matin ou lors du coucher du soleil pour la lumière.
Pourquoi c’est intéressant
L’église de la Madeleine symbolise bien les changements historiques en France : royauté, révolution, empire, restauration.
Son style est atypique pour une église : la forme de temple, l’absence visible de clocher, etc., en font un bâtiment qui interroge l’architecture religieuse.
Elle se trouve dans un cadre urbain important et animé, ce qui permet de la combiner avec d’autres visites dans le 8ᵉ arrondissement.

Here is another image from my set of "Historic Cafes of Paris". The best way to see them all - including the ones that I already posted to Flickr last year - is to visit my Flickr album and see them as one show.
Ok Gents — So now that you are here at the Paris Hotel & Casino — What Now? Surely the Coronavirus Recession has been difficult.
Most stage shows required to operate at 50% capacity, or less, aren’t ready to reopen. Most nightclubs aren’t ready to reopen and manage Social Distancing. Most restaurants required to operate at 50% capacity are going to be very busy during weekends and very slow, or closed, during the week days.
So how do you convince your very lovely lady back home to end her self-imposed Coronavirus Quarantine and jump on an airplane to be with you? Somehow you need to convince your very lovely lady that even with more people on the Strip, that it’s still possible to get a good table at the best restaurants — even on the weekends! 😷🤔
So let’s start by trying to bag a Strip-View patio table for dinner at Mon Ami Gabi!! 😏
Gents — How do you feel now that all the hotel thermal checkpoints have been removed, and that all the COVID-19 security guards have been moved away from the entrances? How do you feel now that all the bars are up and running? 🤔
And Yes — Even though it’s unworkable for a solo guest to purchase a single seat for a Vegas production stage show, it’s still a relief that stage shows are slowly making a comeback on the Vegas Strip! 😔
And Yes — It’s bothers you that it’s still unworkable for a man and a woman to dance together in a ballroom, or in a cocktail lounge, eventually one day it will be possible for men and women to go out dancing again. 😔
So Gents, do not allow yourselves to be mad or sad that the Governor’s state order to open bars and stage shows hasn’t gotten everything back to normal yet, in time, everything will get better. So continue your night explorations, and do so because even in the midst of the Coronavirus Global Pandemic and the Coronavirus Recession, Life Is Still Good Here!! 😷😉

The Eiffel Tower, designed by Gustave Eiffel, was built as the symbol of the 1889 Paris World's Fair.
In spring 1999, my son, Brian, spent six weeks backpacking through Europe.
This is his photo of the tower.
... sorry I couldn't make it any brighter ! view in lightbox for full impact.
This building at the corner of Rue Antoine Bourdelle / Rue Armand Moissant in Montparnasse, Paris is the Advancia Business School and was designed by AS Architecture-Studio. Thanks to my contact Trish Mayo for supplying this information.

Gentlemen — It’s been a long and very busy Day One, so what have you learned?
You understand that it will be difficult for your very lovely lady to adjust to the new normal of contact-free travel. Initially your very lovely lady will be uncomfortable getting through the airport and with getting through hotel check-in and check-out using only her 🍎 iPad or SmartPhone. Your woman may not have much patience with having to use her 🍎 iPad or SmartPhone to read QR Codes to open restaurant and bar menus. Your woman won’t be used to using her 🍎 iPod or SmartPhone to work the hotel elevators and as a door key to the hotel room. Your very lovely lady is terrified of catching COVID-19 and therefore she will be terrified by the big crowds of people crowding football watch parties all up-and-down the Vegas Strip on NFL Sundays. 🤔
And now there are whispers among the crowd of maybe another Vegas shutdown! 😒
So do not let yourself be mad or sad that you’ve learned that things have not really returned to normal on the Vegas Strip. Head on back to your home base at the NY-NY, conclude Day One of your seven day fling, and get a good night’s sleep. You have much more exploring of the Fabulous Las Vegas Strip to do! And do so because in spite of the Coronavirus Global Pandemic and the on-going Coronavirus Recession — Life Is Still Good Here!! 😉😷

Photograph taken on September 9th, 2012, during the Gerhard Richter
Panorama exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. Through the museum’s glass façade, the city of Paris appears reflected and diffracted
The transparent screen acting as an optical filter, merging inside and outside, art and life.
Visitors dissolve into daylight, becoming part of the space, silhouettes suspended between reality and its image. The glass vibrates with the sky, blending the tones of the city and the fleeting reflections of bodies.
Between pigment and photograph, between imagination and reality, between diffraction and refraction of light, between interior and exterior, the surface becomes a living membrane. It forms a composition of shadows and transparencies where each reflection carries a trace of thought.
The image quietly asks if we look at the work, or if, through the light we return, we become part of it.
