Sacré-Cœur and Montmartre

It was built between 1875 and 1914, after the defeat of 1870 and the Commune, in Château-Landon stone that whitens in the rain, which is why it always looks freshly cleaned. Inside, the apse mosaic of Christ is one of the largest in France, and you can climb about 300 steps to the dome.

Around it the old village of Montmartre survives: Place du Tertre with its painters, the Clos Montmartre vineyard, the Moulin de la Galette and the Bateau-Lavoir, where Picasso painted his first Cubist works.
