	Eglise de la Madeleine, Paris
		The church of St Mary Magdalene (Sainte- Marie-Madeleine) in Paris, generally known simply as the Madeleine, is in the form of a Greek temple of considerable size (108m/354ft long by 43m/141ft wide) surrounded by 54 Corinthian columns 15m/49ft high.
		The story of the building of the Madeleine reflects the vicissitudes of French history from the closing years of the Ancien Régime to the bourgeois monarchy of 1830-48.
		The foundation-stone of a domed cruciform Baroque church was laid in 1763, in the reign of Louis XV.

		South of boulevard Haussmann, almost filling the whole of the place de la Madeleine, looms the somewhat ungainly, oversized edifice of the Église de la Madeleine (M° Madeleine), the parish church of the cream of Parisian high society.
		Originally intended as a monument to Napoleon's army – a plan abandoned after the French were defeated by the Russians in 1812 – the building narrowly escaped being turned into a railway station before finally being consecrated to Mary Magdalene in 1845.
		On the east side of the Madeleine church is one of the city's oldest flower markets dating back to 1832, open every day except Monday, while nearby are what must be Paris's most luxurious public toilets, preserving their original 1905 Art Nouveau décor.

		The commemorative role of the edifice was lost when the Arc de Triomphe was completed in 1808, and again the focus of the structure became ambiguous.
		In 1814, Louis XVIII confirmed that the Madeleine should be a church, but in 1837 it was nearly selected to be the first railway station of Paris.
		But the greatest appeal of place de la Madeleine is the famous "Fauchon"delicatessen shop, in the northeast corner.

	view description
		In 1846, the organbuilder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (1811-1899) provided the Èglise de la Sainte-Madeleine in Paris, consecrated in 1842, with the organ that today enriches the monumental nave of this church both visually and tonally.
		Earlier attempts to digitally sample the original sound of a pipe or a pipe-family (a "stop") employed small samples which were artificially looped, often without their original attack phases, and the characteristic sound of the pipes was lost.
		Additionally - due to the nature of previous digital sampling processes - the acoustic resonances of a given space, like the St. Madeleine, are lost, requiring the addition of reverb simulations.

		The Place des Prêcheurs, named after the Dominican convent next to the Eglise de la Madeleine "catty-cornered" from the courthouse, was for many years (15th century) a favorite stroll for Aixois "in the king's - good king René's - garden".
		Its charm, diluted by the presence, and frequently sollicited gallows, lost its appeal in the seventeenth century in favour of the cours Mirabeau; the good king's garden - and gallows - being replaced by Aix's most colorful and fragrant institution,
