The borough Tony eighth is located on the right bank of the Seine. This area is part of the business and tourist center of Paris. Its area occupies less than 1.5 square miles (about 3.9 square kilometers) and has a population of about forty thousand but hosts over one hundred and seventy thousand jobs, more than any other Parisian.

The Church of the Madeleine is a church built in honor of Napoleon's army. Towards the end of the twelfth century, the site contains a synagogue that has been seized and consecrated as a church dedicated to Mary Magdalene. In 1757, construction began on a new church is demolished before the end. Then a new church began, but the work stopped during the French Revolution. Napoleon and others were involved and, finally, the church was consecrated in 1842, almost one hundred years after reconstruction began. The building is neo-classical, but, inspired by a Roman temple in Nimes in southern France. You can not miss the fifty-two Corinthian columns, each twenty meters (over sixty feet) in height.

organ of the Madeleine is upscale, the famous composers Camille Saint-Saens and Gabriel Faure were church organists. I am told that this is the place for your wedding and funeral Madeleine list is quite impressive, including the likes of Chopin, Saint-Saens, and Josephine Baker.

The Palais de l'Elysee (Elysee Palace) is the official residence of the President of the French Republic. It organizes meetings of the Council of Ministers. The gardens are the site of a presidential party on July 14. If you can wangle an invitation to follow my advice and do not speak nothing of the assault.

The palace was bought by Louis XV as a residence for his mistress Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, better known by the name of Madame de Pompadour. political opponents of Louis hung signs on the doors of the manor "Home of ...". Worse still the king, she was blamed for the Seven Years' War. Later, the building has gone through difficult times used for storage of furniture, a printing plant, a dance hall, and finally home away from home for the Russian Cossacks who occupied Paris in 1814. Let's just hope they have not set foot across. Once they have cleared things began to look more promising for the Elysee. Napoleon III used to meet his mistresses, when he resided at the Tuileries Palace just a passing subway. A French president died in the arms of his mistress right before the end of the nineteenth century. In a bizarre incident during the First World War a gorilla escaped from a zoo nearby and tried to kidnap the wife of the President of the Republic. Believe it or not a president of the French Republic and member of the French Academy, Paul Deschanel, who has been told to jump into the trees at official functions, perhaps to imitate the gorilla unnamed.

The Elysee was empty during the Second World War. Charles de Gaulle lived from 1959 to 1969 but preferred to receive official state guests in a nearby building. To quote "I do not like the idea of meeting kings walking around my corridors in their pajamas." Socialist President Fran? S Mitterrand often returned at night to his left Bank homes or apartment of a friend elsewhere. Do not pity the Elysee abandoned poor, whose estimated annual budget for drinks alone one million euros, more than one million dollars.

The Arc de Triomphe is a monument honoring French soldiers, especially those who served in the Napoleonic wars. It is located in the center of the Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly known as the Place de l'Etoile at the west end of the Champs-Elysees. This monument, built in 1806, is 165 feet (over 50 meters) high and almost as wide as high. It is the second largest such arch, the largest being in Pyongyang, the North.
