The Church of the Madelaine, above, was started as a monument. Construction was started during the Emporer Napolean's reign.Below, the gate of the Tuileries garden next to the Louvre has many reminders of French Empire style. That is pronounced Em-peer!
Classical allusions in the statuary.
Rectilinear planning lines interrupt the trees in rows and the statuary.Note the classical arch and the Louvre in the distance.
