| Sacre Couer Paris/ G Sutton 2012 |
Sacré-Cœur (Sacred heart of Jesus) is a Basilica on Montmartre (Mount of Martyrs) in Paris, France. The hill was an ancient place of worship for Druids and then for the Romans and their gods. Christians also built religious places on this hill.
The current church was built in the 1800s. The official website describes the style as Romano-Byzantine.
In addition to visiting the basilica, the mount offers a variety of eateries, interesting shops along the nearby streets, and great views of the city.
My photos were taken 9 March 2012.
