I 💘 Paris XIX. 9 - 13 September, 2020 - Sacré-Cœur, Paris II. - On the Way II.

Sacré-Cœur, Paris

"The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur Basilica and often simply Sacré-Cœur (French: Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, pronounced [sakʁe kœʁ]), is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark and the second most visited monument in Paris, the basilica stands at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. Sacré-Cœur Basilica is above all a religious (Catholic) building, shown by its perpetual adoration of the Holy Eucharist since 1885, and is also seen as a double monument, political and cultural, both a national penance for the defeat of France in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War and for the socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most rebellious neighborhood and an embodiment of conservative moral order, publicly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was an increasingly popular devotion since the visions of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in Paray-le-Monial.
The basilica was designed by Paul Abadie. Construction began in 1875 and was completed in 1914. The basilica was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919."

Dear Friends!

Why I traveled to Paris?

My deepest, the heartfelt wish was to visit

a sacred place: Sacré-Cœur, Paris.

La Basilique du Sacré Cœur de Montmartre

💝

The Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur are two very high monuments where I also tested my fear of heights and

tested my deep emotions.

Here I share my way to Sacré-Cœur, Paris. Despite quite hot weather, my journey with the metro was pleasant and quick, I really love to travel on the metro lines of Paris, very well planned and easy to find all directions without feeling lost.

Reading is Good, a new book I purchased to improve my French knowledge.

I am a book worm, are you? My readers?

Here, I got noticed, I lost my way a bit.

I exchanged the station, but immediately went back to the opposite station, followed a guy who also realized he lost his way, his girlfriend waited for him just on the opposite side.
