Basilique du Sacre-Coeur

Basilique du Sacre-Coeur (Basilica of the Sacred Heart) is a Roman Catholic basilica in Montmartre, which is the highest point in Paris.  The church is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.  It is surprising new, considering the history and age of Paris, because building for it began in 1875.  This was actually the first stop on our day tour of Paris.  It offers a fantastic view of the city and the streets around Montmartre are beautiful as well.
