- Sacré – Couer

The church of Sacré-Coeur is one of the landmarks of Paris and more specifically of Montmartre. Constructed in memory of the fallen of 1870, according to the design laid out by Paul Abadie, the church is made of limestone which whitens in the rain. It is not a parish church, but a place of pilgrimage: people come from all over the world to worship the Sacré Coeur de Jésus. The Neo-Byzantine style of the group of buildings was widely debated and the construction work lasted from 1876 to 1914, despite large public funding and the work of three architects. There is a remarkable view from the dome.

There are other attractions such as the abundance of famous restaurants and a very good variety of culture throughout the city streets. There used also to be tours through the city sewers but not anymore due to it’s conditions.
