Sacré Cœur

Profile

A hilltop church that became the alternative (to the Eiffel Tower) symbol of Paris for many. The views afforded by its location are some of the best in the city and have become a postcard staple, along with the image of the church itself.

Many people are surprised to find out that it's a relatively recent addition to the Parisian skyline: the church was completed in 1914 (architect Paul Abadie).
