oui c'est vrai ...
The name "madeleine" may be derived from Mary Magdalene, like "La Madeleine" and "maudlin."
Madeleines were made in the 2002 action movie The Transporter by a character named Lai.
In the 2006 movie Stranger Than Fiction (film), the main character's love interest was a baker, who mentioned madeleines as a bakery item at her store.
It was the sweet chosen to represent France in the Café Europe initiative of the Austrian presidency of the European Union, on Europe Day 2006.
The anime series Serial Experiments Lain contains reference to the madeleines in its last episode. This was taken from Proust's novel.
In the 2002 Korean movie, Madeleine, madeleines are mentioned.
In episode 7 of the popular South Korean drama My Name is Kim Sam Soon, the female protagonist taught another character to dip madeleines in his tea before eating it. Aptly enough, the episode is titled "Madeleine, In Search of Lost Time."
