La Madeleine Church was the chosen place by Erik to get married
with Christine.
Maybe it was because its proximity from the Opera Garnier, or
maybe because its similarity with Mary Madeleine trying to achieve
the final grace for all his anterior sins?
A popular place for society weddings, the church of the Madeleine,
southwest of the Opera, is an obese structure on the classical
temple model. It was originally intended to be yet another monument
to the glory of Napoleon's army. With France's defeat in Russia,
however, the construction of the Madeleine was interrupted, only to
be taken up again by Louis XIII who retained the original design of
the classical temple, but decided to convert it into a Catholic church
(as its name indicate, this Church is dedicated to Sainte Mary
Madeleine).. The single wide nave is decorated with Ionic columns
and surmounted with three huge domes - the only source of natural
light inside.
