THE MADELEINE - OPERA AREA (2nd and 9th districts)
 L'EGLISE DE LA MADELEINE
Address : Place de la Madeleine - Metro : Madeleine (lines 8, 12)
The Madeleine is a beautiful church, with a quite surprising Greek style, that gave its name to this "quarter". |
L'OPERA
Address : Place de l'Opera - Metro : Opéra (lines 3, 7, 8)
The sumptuous Opera of Paris has a baroque style, a rococo stair and wonderful ceilings painted by Chagal. We could say that it is most unusual !
- The Palais Garnier houses the Opera Museum (Musée de l'Opéra). Sometimes, it is possible to visit the Opéra's backstage... |

LE MUSEE GREVIN
Address : 10, boulevard Montmartre - Metro : Grands Boulevards (lines 8, 9)
The Grevin Museum (Musée Grévin) will allow you to meet François Mitterrand (a French President), Alfred Hitchcock, Madonna, Gandhi or, Zinedine Zidane (a French soccer/football player) ! Actually, it houses more than 450 wax figures in sumptuous decors. It could be compared to the museum of Mrs Tussault in Great Britain. |
Other thing to see in that area
