Quartier de la Madeleine, Administrative quarter in 8th arrondissement, Paris, France.

The Quartier de la Madeleine extends across 76.1 hectares, featuring elegant Haussmann buildings and wide boulevards lined with luxury establishments and governmental offices.

The district transformed from a rural hamlet called Ville-l'Évêque into an administrative quarter during the 19th century through Baron Haussmann's extensive urban renovations.

Théâtre de la Madeleine, established in 1924, continues to present theatrical performances, while numerous art galleries display contemporary and classical works.

The quarter contains three metro stations, Madeleine serving lines 8, 12, and 14, with Saint-Augustin on line 9 providing connections across Paris.

The district houses both the Palais de l'Élysée, residence of France's president, and the Hôtel de Charost, home to British ambassadors since 1814.
