Sacre Coeur in Montmartre

The Sacre Coeur Catholic basilica was built at the end of the 19th century at the top of Montmartre hill in Paris. Its famous white pastry like architecture is spectacularly dominating the whole city of Paris.

The Sacre Coeur is a holy place and a flagship of Catholic devotion to the Holy Virgin in Paris.

It attracts many pilgrims from all over the world and has a large network of affiliated churches.

The Sacre Coeur has been represented many times by famous Montmartre painters.

The Sacre Coeur district offers many spectacular views on Paris. Its village like streets, its cafes and restaurants, Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, its painters on Place du Tertre attract many tourists.

But, as you walk a few meters away from the core tourist area, you discover very quiet and charming spots. A really lovely area to discover slowly.

opera garnier The nearest metro station is Abbesses on line 12. Be prepared for a short and nice walk up the hill. Locate Sacre Coeur on Paris map.

The Sacre Coeur is opened from 6.45am to 11pm. More information on Sacre Coeur web site.

If you are in Paris for the first time, we advise you to visit the Sacre Coeur on a Montmartre guided tour.
