The
Sacré-Coeur, consecrated in 1919, is one of the most iconic monuments in Paris.
At the top
of the Butte Montmarte, it has one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the
capital, from 130 metres above ground.
In a
Roman-Byzantine style, the Sacré Coeur is recognizable by its white colour.
Inside the
building, the ceiling is decorated with the largest mosaic in France measuring
about 480 m².
The crypt is
also worth a visit.
And to go
even higher up, visitors can access the dome where the 360° view of Paris is
magnificent.
A short walk
from the Sacré Coeur is the Place du Tertre, the district of Abbesses with its
steep, winding roads, and at the bottom of the hill, the famous Moulin Rouge
cabaret.
