Cave of Lascaux

Many years ago there was a 1:1 reproduction of one of the famous caves of Lascaux (France), which cannot be visited, at the Roemer-Pelizaeus-Museum. Lascaux apparently has incredible reproductions of cave paintings.

Conciergerie

The Conciergerie is near from Cathedrale Notre-Dame. This is the place where queen Marie-Antoinette detained after French Revolution. She stayed such a miserable place for several years as a prisoner. Every revolution, as a rule, has its prison. Conciergerie served as a prison during the French revolution in the 18th century. Now it is part of the Palace of Justice. Which means you’ll be searched before entering, by the way. When Conciergerie was a prison it was swarming with almost 4000 prisoners. (more…)

La Madeleine

One of the most familiar landmarks in Paris, La Madeleine has had a stormy history. Started in 1764 and later razed for the first time to begin a building modelled after the Pantheon. Razed a second time when Napolean announced that on this spot should be erected a temple to the glory of the Great Army and gave commission to Vignon, which started work on the Greek building. In 1814 Louis XVIII confirmed that the Madeleine should be a church. In 1837 the building was nearly selected for use as Paris’ first railway terminal. The church’s vicissitudes finally ended with its consecreation in 1842. (more…)

Opera Garnier

This is the famous Opera Garnier. This lavish theatre is home to the Phantom of Phantom of the Opera. Now few operas actually play here; it’s mainly used for ballet. This should come as no suprise since many of Degas’ famous ballet paintings were set here. There is also a museum here which runs through the Grand Foyer by the huge sets of stairs there. There’s also a lavish auditorium similar to the display of Napolean III’s apartments in the Louvre.
