The Sacré-Coeur Basilica is one of Paris's major tourist draws. The majestic building is located on top of the Montmartre hill.

Situated north of Paris, this stunning famous attraction is sometimes referred to as the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and is a firm favourite among tourists due to its beautiful architecture, history and views. The basilica is built on the highest point in Paris, and views from the top of Sacré-Coeur Basilica are some of the greatest you will experience while in Paris.

Inside, the church features a Romanesque style inspired by a previous church that had been restored by the same architect. Paul Abadie took this style and expanded upon it for the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, which features sublime architecture, statues, sculptures, murals, paintings and archways. The most notable statues inside are the 2 French Saints, Joan of Arc and King Saint Louis IX. These 2 bronze figures feature heavily at the triple arch, another classic architectural design that is admired in Sacré-Coeur Basilica. Another very popular attraction is the “Savoyarde”, or great bell. This huge bell weighs an astonishing 19 tons, making it one of the heaviest bells in the world.

The final show stopper can be seen from the top of the dome. A climb to the top provides a breathtaking view of the city of Paris.
