Basilique de Sacre Coeur, Paris, France


Basilique de Sacre Coeur
Originally uploaded by Martin Callum.
Perched on a hillside in Montmartre, the highest point in Paris, is the impressive Basilique de Sacre Coeur. A beautiful, white coloured church with a panoramic view over Paris. It was completed in the early 1900's at the site of the last vineyard in Paris, and was previously the site of 2 Roman temples, a Celtic shrine, and a Benedictine Abbey.
Around the church are some very charming streets and alleys with plenty of bistros, cafes and street artists. These artists line the streets and surround the Place de Tertre, attempting to draw your portrait. Stub
