The basilica of the Sacré Coeur sits proudly at the highest point of the city of Paris (Butte du Montmartre) as another of its iconic landmarks. The domes of this fine example of Romano-Byzantine architecture can be seen from all over the city. Architect Paul Abadie won the competition to design the basilica with work beginning in June 1875 and taking 40 years to complete, only being financed by donations.
Inside the largest mosaic in France at around 470m2 looks over the altar of the basilica.
Almost every visitor to Paris will find their way to the steps of this church, many returning to take in the views over the city at night.
Day or night the stairs offer a friendly place to be within this great city with street entertainers, music and a great variety of people.
For a less physically taxing arrival, walk a couple of minutes from Anvers to the Montmartre funicular railway station.
The funicular is located at the bottom of the steps, directly beneath Sacré-Cœur. You’ll be at the top in a couple of minutes, and get to avoid the steep steps that can be tough for some visitors. 
Tip: Use one of your metro tickets to access the 'Funiculaire' to save you a large part the climb up the hundreds of stairs...you'll be glad you did!
