If you’re in Paris this summer, I highly recommend  you set aside you evening and attend the event at La Madeleine Church. There, the Orchestre Les Violons de France is set to perform Vivaldi’s timeless masterpiece, The Four Seasons, amidst the church’s stunning architecture as reported by Classictic.

Mark your calenders for the 17^th of August since this is when Antonio Vivaldi’s concert is happening. La Madeleine Church, the 8th arrondissement, its design echoes a Roman temple, complete with grand Corinthian columns and opulent interior details that is ideal for this event.

Initially conceived as a homage to Napoleon’s Grande Armée, La Madeleine Church was later consecrated as a Roman Catholic place of worship in 1842. Throughout its history, it has transformed into a cultural center, hosting captivating classical music concerts. The Church’s lavish interior, adorned with ornate altars, grand marble sculptures, and intricate frescoes, sets the stage for an inviting atmosphere.
