L\u2019id\u00e9e de l\u2019\u00e9glise est n\u00e9e en 1858, lorsqu\u2019un groupe de pr\u00eatres catholiques a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 collecter des fonds pour construire une \u00e9glise en l\u2019honneur du Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur de J\u00e9sus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The building of the cathedral was ordered to remember the 58,000 victims of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871 (under Napoleon III) and the &#8220;Bloody Week&#8221; of the Commune in Paris. However, construction on the church finally began after the Paris Commune, a violent uprising of Parisian workers in 1871.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La conception et la construction du Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur ont \u00e9t\u00e9 fortement influenc\u00e9es par le design n\u00e9o-byzantin fran\u00e7ais.

However, due to the war, it was not consecrated until 1919.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since its completion, Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur has become one of Paris&#8217;s most popular tourist destinations. Millions of visitors come to see the church every year, and it is one of the city&#8217;s most photographed buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Architecture du Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/basilica-Sacre-Coeur.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of Roman Catholic church and minor basilica Sacre-Coeur,\" class=\"wp-image-8697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/basilica-Sacre-Coeur.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/basilica-Sacre-Coeur-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/basilica-Sacre-Coeur-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">V_E \/ Shutterstock.com <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you visit Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur Basilica, you&#8217;ll see it is a striking example of Romanesque Revival architecture.

The basilica&#8217;s exterior is white stone, making it stand out against the Paris skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur les caract\u00e9ristiques du Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur, des visites guid\u00e9es sont disponibles qui vous m\u00e8neront \u00e0 l&#039;int\u00e9rieur de la basilique et vous expliqueront toutes les diff\u00e9rentes caract\u00e9ristiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comment aller l\u00e0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sacre-coeur-paris-sunny-day-1024x656.jpeg\" alt=\"Long Stairs View of  Basilique du Sacr\u00e9-Coeur\" class=\"wp-image-14798\" style=\"width:780px;height:499px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sacre-coeur-paris-sunny-day-1024x656.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sacre-coeur-paris-sunny-day-300x192.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sacre-coeur-paris-sunny-day-768x492.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/sacre-coeur-paris-sunny-day.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/ph\/contributor\/200658761\/dan-breckwoldt?load_type=author&#038;prev_url=detail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dan Breckwoldt<\/a> \/AdobeStock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Basilique du Sacr\u00e9-Coeur can be reached by climbing the steps or taking the &#8220;funiculaire,&#8221; a sort of elevator or teleferique. You can also climb to the top of the dome for an even better view of Paris. A ticket must be purchased at a vending machine outside the basilica to enter the dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur est situ\u00e9 dans le quartier Montmartre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/shopping-streets\/\">quartier de Paris<\/a>, outside the main tourist areas. The best way to get to Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur is by metro. The closest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/metro-stations\/\">station de m\u00e9tro<\/a> est Anvers, qui se situe sur la ligne 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you exit the metro, you must walk up a long flight of stairs to get to the church. This can be challenging if you&#8217;re not used to walking up hills, but the great views from the top are well worth the effort. On a clear day, you can see the miles and miles of Paris city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re not up for walking, a funicular cable car runs from the bottom of Montmartre Hill to the basilica. The funicular is a bit more expensive than taking the metro, but it&#8217;s a fun way to get to Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur if you&#8217;re short on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Voir connexe\u00a0:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/fr\/bridges\/\">Top 10 des ponts \u00e0 visiter \u00e0 Paris<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Que voir et que faire au Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Sacre-Coeur-Basilica.jpg\" alt=\"Front view of Basilique du Sacr\u00e9 Coeur\" class=\"wp-image-8698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Sacre-Coeur-Basilica.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Sacre-Coeur-Basilica-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paristopten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Sacre-Coeur-Basilica-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nattee Chalermtiragool \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you arrive at Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur Basilica, there is plenty to see and do.
