Absolutely stunning, except for the people (non-tourists) on the steps drinking booze, selling booze, leaving garbage and smoking everything from cigarettes to marijuana. And the scum urinating on the fences as you walk by. Apparently all of this is a newer development...in the past few years...but is apparently a nightly thing. The church doesn't (or can't) get rid of these people, and the police do nothing. What a shame. Otherwise, it is beautiful there.
The highlight of my France experience. The beauty and illumination of the building is not done justice with words, make sure that you pick up some postcards to represent the majesty of the interior, since pictures were not allowed.
The church itself is much more impressive from the outside then the inside... however well worth a visit still. We climbed 300 steps to the tope of the dome for 6 euro and it was fantastic. Beautiful view of Paris - you can see the Eiffel Tower too! I highly recommend it
I love that place, beautiful building, amazing views of Paris. If is sunny is a great place to have some small picnic.
This church doesn't disappoint, also the views of the city are spectacular!Well worth the climb up the hill.
A place you can spend time for prayer as well as sight-seeing.Be prepared for a good walk around the area. Give yourself enough time if you plan to do shopping. Don't rush to buy but look around and compare.Few months after the visit, I learned from TV documentary that you can book for your special prayer at this Le Sacre Coeur. I shall definitely do this if I have my next visit.
Great view of Paris so having bottle of wine and some baguettes on the stairs below while Paris lights up is recommended. The building it self is very nice but if you are planning on going inside remember it is a place of worship so dress accordingly. Entrance is guarded so they will turn you away otherwise. Also, you are not allowed to take any pictures inside which might be worth knowing.
Visit the basilica itself, it's interesting, if not very old. The view of the roofs of Paris from the top is a symphony in grey. Visit the Butte Montmartre : the Place du Tertre, with the painters, St. Pierre de Montmartre, the oldest church in Paris. And walk back down the steps from the Sacré Coeur to the bustling streets below.
Le Sacré Cœur de CHOLET ( à ne pas confondre comme je le vois dans certains commentaires avec celui de Montmartre ) est superbe , si j'ai bien compris il a été réalisé par un architecte choletais qui ne serait autre que le père de MENIE GREGOIRE la célèbre chroniqueuse des année 70/80 sur RTL !
A vista panorâmica que oferece do topo sobre Paris é maravilhosa o pior é chegar lá a cima se for a pé pela entrada principal. Cuidado com homens de raça negra que abordam as pessoas na subida. Eles vão tentar fazer uma pulseira enquanto trocam umas palavras consigo fazendo passar por uma conversa bem disposta e amigável e depois tentar roubar o que tiver! Muito cuidado com isso!!!Quanto à vista e à igreja é muito boa e de recomendar visitar.
