Eglise Madeline - Quatre Saisons de Vivaldi

Delightful way to end my stay in Paris, a classical music concert at the Madeleine. The musicians were 20ft away and the sound was incredible (except when you could hear the grumblings of the metro). A winter evening, sitting with a small crowd in this historic setting, quite moving. Was it the music or the church or most likely a combination of the two.
My walk back from the Pigalle metro station brought me back to the neon sex shop side of man. Funny thing about these sex shops, I think they are subsidized by the French government as I've never seen anyone go into one, just tourists taking pictures.
