Located on the corner of rue Gracieuse and rue Pestalozzi, the sober, dark-gray façade of Lilane gives a subtle hint of the sublime dining experience that one will enjoy here.

An ethereal, luminous angel, ingeniously created by sculptor Pauline Ohrel from white chickenwire, floats from the vaulted ceiling of the Madeleine Church in Paris.  This angel is part of a Nativity scene commissioned by the church, and is on view until February 2nd, 9:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

 Eglise de la Madeleine, Place de la Madeleine, Paris, 8th arrondissement (Metro: Madeleine)
