The Sacré Coeur

With its many domes visible from afar across Paris, the white Basilique du Sacré Coeur, atop Montmartre, rises more like a fabulous oriental palace than a church. The place is magnetically kitsch inside and out, although the Benedictine nuns and their hymns create a suitably religious atmosphere each day of the week for mass. From in front of the basilica the views over Paris are exhilarating.

Beside the basilica is the lovely Gothic church of St Pierre, all that remains of the royal abbey of Montmartre which was destroyed during the Revolution.

35 Rue du Chevalier de la Barre, 18e.

Open: daily 06h00-23h00. Admission: free to the cathedral; EUR5 to the crypt. Tel: +33 (0)1-5341-8900. Métro: Abbesses/Anvers.
