            Montmartre - Sacre-Coeur   

Sacre-Coeur Basilica

Montmartre rises on a hill 130 meters high. There are 2 highest points in the city where you can see whole city central part. The first is Tour Eiffel, and the second is Sacre Coeur Basilica. Sacre Coeur is mean Sacred Heart. The church is resplendent in bright white, and stands out as one of the most beloved landmarks in all of Paris. Constructed late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the interior of the temple the Saboyarde stands out, one of the worldwide biggest bells weighing 18 tons. Sacre Coeur Basilica for me is the most beautiful church in Paris. The exterior of the basilica is built in the Roman Byzantine style from Travertine stone and one of the very first things that you will notice are the bronze statues of Joan of Arc and King Saint Louis IX.

What The New Age Traveler Says...?

Sacre Coeur Basilica. The Basilica, is one of Paris more recent places of worship. For me is the most beautiful church in Paris or even in the world. I was really fascinated when I was first see Sacre Coeur. Montmartre is well known as the last village in Paris. The Basilica has been represented many times by Montmartre painters. The nearest metro station is Abbesses on line 12. Be prepared for a short and nice walk up the hill. Your travel to Paris will be incomplete with out this popular landmark.
