Sacré-Cœur, the icon of Montmartre

The Basilique du Sacré-Cœur towers high above Paris on the Montmartre hill and is one of the city's most visited attractions. From the wide steps in front of the basilica, you have a panoramic view of the French capital. The white natural stone church, completed in 1914, combines Romanesque and Byzantine architecture and, together with the lively atmosphere on the square, forms one of the most recognizable places in Paris.
