    5 Stars The Sugar Icing Basilica. Review with images 27/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic views over Paris from the Sacre Coeur.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    The Sacre Coeur. The Sacre Coeur officially called the Basilica of the Sacred Heart ( of Christ) of Paris can be found at the Summit of Montmartre in Paris in the area St. Denis. If you are arriving by Euro star services into the Gard du Nord you will notice it on your way into Paris. It stands magnificently at the top of the hill 280 meters above sea level. It can be reached either by mounting the stairs in front of the Basilica or via a Funicular on the left hand side of the stairs and gardens for a small fee. Alternatively you can walk up the winding road ways or by car although there are ... more

    4 Stars The Sacred Heart 18/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting, views.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Stairs, stairs and more stairs.

    The Sacre-Couer or Sacred Heart is a huge Catholic church in the North of the city centre. It was started in 1873 as the Catholic church sought to atone for what they perceived as the crimes of the Commune, what better way to atone than by constructing a gigantic white-domed basilica? It has been designed in a Neo-Byzantine style by the architect responsible, Paul Abadie, and apparently was described as an 'abberration of taste' by a group of artists and intellectuals. Entry is free provided you don't take pictures, you remain silent and you dress decently (this means covering shoulders for ... more

    5 Stars What a place to start the day 07/08/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It is magnificent

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Why cant they put in a lift

    I am sorry to say that the next few ops of mine will have a distinctly Parisian feel to them as I wish to express the joy and wonder I found in visiting Paris in July. I am sorry it has taken so long for me to add another opinion but I have had some problems in getting to a keyboard recently and hope you all forgive me. But now onto the opinion, which is all you guys are really here for :) It 9am on the 16th July and a glorious summers day. Coming out of our hotel in Montmartre littlemissy and I (actually littlemissy;)) decide that our first real port of call in Paris should be the Sacre-Coeur ... more

    5 Stars Paris on a budget - the basilica of sacre coeur 07/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages beautiful, seren, and what a view!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages string men

    Paris on a budget - The basilica of sacre coeur. On our recent holiday to Paris, we set out to take in the capital, but without spending a fortune. We were on a strict budget and tried to take in as much of the culture of one of Europes most beautiful cities. Our Little hotel was in the montmatre region of the capital. Montmartre literally means hill of martyrs and therefore was the only real choice for one of the most striking religous buildings in the world.The Basilica of Sacre Coeur is Montmartre's leading tourist attraction, and it's probably the most-visited church in Paris after the ... more

    5 Stars A undiscovered Gem 03/11/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great View, beautiful building,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not Cheap, busy inside church

    The Sacre Coeur is an absolutely beautiful building and very striking as you get closer to it. Its position on a hill gives you the opportunity to walk up to through lovely little French alleys and when you get to the Sacre Coeur the view is amazing. The church inside is very busy, however if you sit in the middle of the church on the seats you can admire the church in relative peace and quiet. I highly recommend climbing the towers at the back of the church. The stairs are steep and prices of 5 Euros per person mean a family trip can be expensive. However once you get up there the view is ... more
