A striking 19th-century church blending Gothic and Romanesque styles with innovative iron construction, built during the Haussmann redesign of Paris.
The Church of St. Augustine is a Catholic church located at 46 boulevard Malesherbes in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The church was built between 1860 and 1871 by the Paris city chief architect Victor Baltard. It was the first church in Paris to combine a cast-iron frame, fully visible, with stone construction. It was designed to provide a prominent landmark at the junction of two new boulevards built during Haussmann's renovation of Paris under Napoleon III.

A solemn neoclassical chapel built between 1815 and 1826 on the former burial site of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, commemorating their execution during the French Revolution. Set within a quiet, enclosed garden, it feels more like a memorial than a traditional church.

Palais de l'Élysée
The official residence of the President of France since 1848. Dating to the early 18th century, it contains the office of the President and the meeting place of the Council of Ministers. The name Élysée derives from Elysian Fields, not the avenue but instead the place of the blessed dead in Greek mythology. Not open to the public, except occasionally during the annual National Heritage Days (usually a weekend in mid-September). Important foreign visitors are hosted at the nearby Hôtel de Marigny, a palatial residence.
