Sir Hogmeister wrote about the Madeleine church:
"Standing majestically above the surrounding streets is the Eglise de la Madeleine, an amazing edifice constructed in the Grand Classical Style. Originally conceived during the reign of Louis XV, the first attempt was destroyed by poor materials, technical incompetence and bad weather. Louis XVI turned his attention to the project in 1777 but again fate in the form this time of the French revolution intervened, he lost his head and the building lost its funding. The next ill-fated monarch to enter the fray was Napoleon, who decided that it would make a fine monument to commemorate his army and their victories. With the raising of the 20-meter high Corinthian columns the building was finally completed in 1814, however with Waterloo intervening the following year Napoleon, his armies and their victories were relegated to the history books and the building was left in limbo. A succession of monarchs and small revolutions came and went; in 1837 there were plans formulated to turn the building into the first railway station in Paris, thankfully common sense prevailed and in 1842 it was finally decided to consecrate the building as a church, the use for which it had originally been designed.
Today the building has several uses as befits its chequered history. It stands primarily as a fine architectural monument much admired by tourists, who flock through its doors, providing just the right cover for many of its other clandestine uses. It houses amongst other things the offices of the Mistress to the president. It is said that when a new president is elected, the first key he receives is to his official residence, the second key is to the chastity belt and office of his official mistress, and the third key is to the secret strong rooms located beneath the Madeleine, where he can store and count his ‘personal’ slush funds, a time honoured pastime of many a president. It is said the president spends more time playing, opps I meant praying at the Madeleine than he spends with his wife. Due to the high number of ‘foreigners’ visiting the Madeleine it is the ideal base for the DGSE (la Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure) to operate their industrial and high-tech spying operations on their allies from. Many of the world’s greatest technological secrets are said to have passed through its portals. The CIA in particular have spent a considerable amount of time and agents trying to penetrate the DGSE, however their lack of understanding of the rules of Fine dining and Michelin stared cuisine has thwarted all their efforts, a four hour lunch being totally unfathomable to them. MI5 has had slightly more success, however they too fail the final test, by opting for Port instead of Brandy."
Some little things to know about this lot:
- Open the Madeleine zip file and extract the [Madeleine specifics] file's content to your plug-in directory.
- Don't worry: there will be no tree on your lot before the next season swap.
- The lot is transit-enabled (if any difficulties, don't hesitate to draw two roads over the lot).
- The "Joyeuses fêtes" prop is supplied in the zip file in6 other languages, so that you can easily replace it in the LE.
Enjoy, folks!
