Have you just spent hours window-shopping down the Champs-Elysées and arrived at the Place de la Concorde? Or maybe you're currently strolling along theMadeleine church and are looking for a good place to eat alone, with your partner or with friends? Then you've come to the right place!
The Concorde district is centered around the famous Place de la Concorde, one of the capital's largest and most historic squares. Created in the 18th century, this square is steeped in history, having been the scene of many significant events, notably during the French Revolution, when it housed the guillotine.
Today, the square is dominated by theLuxor Obelisk, a monument donated by Egypt in 1836, and flanked by magnificent fountains. The Concorde district epitomizes Parisian grandeur, with emblematic monuments and buildings such as theHôtel de Crillon andHôtel de la Marine.
A stone's throw away, the Madeleine district is centered around the imposing Eglise de la Madeleine, a neoclassical edifice resembling a Greek temple. Built under Napoleon I, this religious edifice can be recognized by its majestic columns.
Synonymous with elegance and refinement, the Madeleine district is home to some of the world's leading luxury, haute couture and jewelry houses, notably on neighboring streets such as rue Royale and rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré. But the Madeleine is also a mecca for Parisian gastronomy, with its renowned delicatessens, chic cafés and gourmet restaurants.
