Basilique du Sacre-Coeur
The Basilique du Sacre-Coeur is located a top a large hill just
beyond Montmarte’s main square. You’ll most likely have
to push your way past some street hustlers. Hold on to your wallet.
Don’t let them tie a string around your finger. Whatever they
tell you, it is not a French custom. Once you get to the stairs,
you’ll be fine.
It’s quite a hike to the top so take your time and enjoy
it. Once you get to the hilltop, you’ll gaze in awe at the
spectacular view of Paris. During the daytime you can take a peak
inside the church. However, Basilique du Sacre-Coeur’s main
draw is its view of Paris.
Spend the next couple of hours walking the streets around Montmartre’s
Place du Tertre. This area doesn’t seem to have been disturbed
by time and remains much how it was when Van Gogh lived here.
