Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine



Église de la Madeleine


This photo was taken only a few days 
after the terrorist attack in November 2015.


It seemed a good place to be.

Église de la Madeleine



Église de la Madeleine


Created in marble by Turin-born sculptor Carlo (Charles) Marochetti in 1841
for this historic church, the subject is the "Ascension of Mary Magdelene."


The photo shows the artist's remarkable detail 
in one of the angels


(Joyeux anniversaire, Nanette)
