Place de la Madeleine
Laid out around the Madeleine church, the square has been one of the poles of luxury and gastronomy in Paris since the 19th century: fine-food houses and delicatessens have been established here since the 1850s, between boulevard des Capucines and rue Royale.
The square also hosts a flower market, one of the last in Paris, and from its steps offers a straight perspective to Place de la Concorde and, aligned beyond, the National Assembly. Tip: walk right round the church to find that view, then stroll down rue Royale to Concorde — a five-minute walk.
